Modern "CISC"CPUs, such as recent x86 designs like the Pentium 4, whilst they usually support every instruction that their predecessors did, are designed to work most efficiently with a subset of instructions more resembling a typical "RISC" instruction set.
Indeed, many CISCCPUs (such as modern x86processors from both Intel and AMD) decode many x86 instructions into a series of smaller internal "micro-operations" that are then executed internally by the processor.
CISC have not only updated the standards, but also the way in which they are presented and distributed.
CISC hopes that these Standards, which are now the culmination of eight years work by hundreds of contributors from the industry, will contribute in large measure to the enhancement of the performance of individuals, companies, the industry and the economy as a whole.
Finally, CISC acknowledges its debt to the Department for Education and Employment, Qualifications and Curriculum Authority and Scottish Qualifications Authority for their support and vision in enabling these Standards to be produced.
