curprev 02:3702:37, 24 September 2023‎ RastaKins talk contribs‎ 14,704 bytes −256‎ WP:BOLD 6502 cannot be considered RISC. Unlike RISC, 6502 has variable instruction length and variable timing. Most ALU operations reference memory. Dyadic results always go to a single accumulator. No ALU operations operate register to register. Pointers can't be held in registers. undo

curprev 22:0122:01, 17 August 2023‎ Guy Harris talk contribs‎ 14,960 bytes −39‎ Explicitly mention the small number of registers. (The Data General Nova was a load-store architecture with only 4 registers, so it's in some ways closer to a RISC processor, but the small number of registers probably disqualifies it. "RISC" and "CISC" as terms are a bit of a mess, given the lack of any firm definitions.) Attach the {{cn}} to the claim that they have been described as RISC-like - who made that claim? undo

curprev 06:4206:42, 24 June 2023‎ Guy Harris talk contribs‎ 14,968 bytes +116‎ →‎CISC and RISC terms: Credit where credit is due (it's called "H&P" for a reason). Use {{cite book}}, given that it's... a book. undo

curprev 02:1702:17, 20 June 2023‎ Guy Harris talk contribs‎ 14,852 bytes +38‎ →‎CISC and RISC terms: That edition of H&P doesn't mention the term CISC; it talks about load-store, register-memory, and memory-memory ISAs, distinguishing "CISC" ISAs such as x86 and S/3x0 (register-memory for most operations) from "CISC" ISAs such as VAX (supports all operands being register or memory for most operations). undo

It was *originally* intended for a phone switch, although it might not have been called the "801" until the switch project was cancelled. It was used as the microengine for the IBM 9370, but was also used for other (embedded) purposes as well. undo
