But RISC was and is still a better solution then CISC (like the X86).
I hope all of you that are advocating ARM realize that ARM and PPC have far more in common then either does with X86.
Modern ARM with Thumb2, x86 and 68060 are a CISC decoder with RISC core. PowerPC and the original ARM are RISC decoder with RISC core. It looks to me like CISC cores are all but dead but so are RISC decoders.
And PPCs are still more advanced then most ARM processor (although ARM is catching up quickly).
PPC has some powerful features but they are also difficult to program. It's easier to get more power out of a CPU that is easy to program. ARM (with Thumb2) isn't bad but N68k is easier and I think will have better code density.
