None. Whatever the CPU does internally to actually execute the instructions is irrelevant.
correct me if i am wrong. But...
RISC/CISC means the way the OS puts instructions to the CPU, on how to execute operations.
RISC, does'nt that mean the OS uses "redused" instructions to execute a (series of) commands in the CPU, while in CISC the OS uses "complex" instructions to execute a (series of) commands in the CPU....?
From the link you gave:
When Intel first introduced this technique, they referred to it as a "RISC Core", but soon dropped that term. This is similar to traditional microcode, but differs mainly in the fact that the translation from the external instruction set to the micro-ops occurs asynchronously, so the ALU and pipeline are not lockstepped to the instruction set's instruction boundaries.
That means the Intel x86 cpus are CISC, in the way that the OS sends complex instructions. But the instructions is translatet to "RISC" before execution inside the CPU...
However the coldfire is a true RISC based CPU, in the way it gets RISC instructions from the os...
I am curious. I just don't get what makes the coldfire "incompatible" to run Amiga OS....
And what would it take to make a coldfire work in amiga enviroment...?
