that's the point: we *can't* do a massive libre / open innovative enhancement to the RV ISA without official support. the consequences - the risk of a clash in the ISA - would be absolutely disastrous. > I guess my point is, they use more battery power than intel even. what, PowerPC? that's a poor micro-architectural choice that doesn't have anything specifically to do with the ISA, especially when the VLE book (Variable Length Encoding) exists (equivalent to RVC). l. _______________________________________________ arm-netbook mailing list [email protected] http://lists.phcomp.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/arm-netbook Send large attachments to [email protected]
