Template talk:RISC architectures
PIC is not RISCIncluding the PIC microcontrollers as a RISC architecture seems pretty questionable to me... the only RISC-like thing about them is their small instruction set. Otherwise, the PIC16 ISA is basically accumulator-based, rather than including a set of general purpose registers. There's no way to implement a stack efficiently, the instruction set is totally non-orthogonal, all kinds of bank switching shenanigans are needed to access memory. It's basically a mess. The newer PIC18 instruction set improves this somewhat, maybe to the extent that the 386 made the 8086 instruction set more orthogonal by not tying specific registers to specific addressing modes. But PIC is definitely not RISC, as can be seen by comparing it to the Atmel AVR microcontrollers which have nearly identical hardware but a sane and orthogonal instruction set. So I'm going to remove PIC from this template. MOXFYRE (contrib) 18:14, 23 July 2007 (UTC) Requested move 13 March 2019

POWER is (still) not historic
