Thumb-2 technology adds about 130 additional instructions to Thumb. The added functionality removes the need to switch between ARM and Thumb modes in order to service interrupts, and gives access to ...

There are known undocumented instructions in a lot of x86-class CPUs, too. What’s more, these days your x86 CPU might really be a virtual machine running on a different processor, or your CPU ...

The Intel 8088 (and its big brother 8086) processor was among the first microprocessors to implement (instruction) prefetching in hardware, which [Ken Shirriff] has analyzed based on die images ...

RISC Microprocessors that use a reduced instruction set computer (RISC) design process a few simple instructions rather than many complex ones in order to speed operations. CISC Microprocessors that ...
