TSO... microcode is strictly to port old x86 programs to newer nicertain architecture right? We have found fast ways to do the most common case, so the rarity suffers from microcode here and there, but it's a worthy compromise given the massive speed boosts of modern systems compared to when the orIginla x86 ISA was designed.
And comparing x86 to ARM is simply unfair, x86 is based in the lalate 80's early 90's, with a tad bit of new sprinkled on, ARM is made for better optimization of today's applications, mostly mobile applications.
ARMs full manual would be about the same size, I can get them if u like, ARM has a lot of nuances that u would need the full write up on (I'd bet it's 700-1300 pages, depending on the writing style) in order to properly be able to say make a raw binary code compiler.
And everyone, In this write up I would give simplified versions and examples of the logic and algorithms being used, as well as architectural layouts of system components and give short and sweet descriptions of each of these components and algorithms.
I will compare and contcontrast the pros and cons, and also anything biased of mine will be in italics so u know it's stuff that I have decided I like best from looking it up and/or attempting to make the system in MC and/or Logisim..
I plan to learn HDL soon after I get this done and my current version of my ISA,, then I can make it in there and it be something IRL applicable, so I can check the statements I make to be true or false.
