It was more about the scope of typical application. X86 got lot of programmers since it was a widely used open platform. The RISC...

The instructions are not necessarily one cycle. See this reference for cycle times for one version of ARM, a RISC assembly language --...

Thanks for clarifying. I conclude that I was just confused about RISK. The demand for programmers when RISK began was probably just part...

No, nothing like that. You don't have to keep track of time. That sounds more like low-level real-time programming, as a guess. I don't...

I got the (maybe incorrect) impression that RISC programming was harder when there was a great shortage of RISK programmers. Maybe the...

To be more precise, an assembly language is matched to the architecture that it runs on. Different architecture has a different assembly...

Visual Studio doesn't permit inline assembly (i.e., using the asm keyword) in 64-bit code. The example I showed was compiled as 32-bit...
