		Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC), is a microprocessor CPU design philosophy that favors a smaller and simpler set of instructions that all take about the same amount of time to execute.
		The Motorola 680x0, 0x0, m68k, or 68k family of CISC microprocessor CPU chips were 32_bit from the start, and were the primary competition for the Intel x86 family of chips.
		The Hewlett-Packard 3000 series is a family of minicomputers released by the company in 1973 after a difficult development project.

		HP is officially in the same camp as SGI in that they have announced the intention of replacing their PA-RISC family with IA-64.
		Note that the Intel 32-bit x86 processor achieves respectably high integer performance due to its high clock rate afforded by the early access to 0.18 um process technology (nearly all the RISC processors shown are manufactured in processes in the 0.22 to 0.28 um range).
		Most of the flagship parts of the competing RISC processor families, along with the Merced/Itanium IA-64 processor, will be manufactured in 0.18 um technologies within the next six to twelve months.

		First, that the generation beyond RISC would have to be designed explicitly to execute multiple operations in every machine cycle.
		That there was inherent mathematical complexity in out-of-order superscalar RISC machines that would prevent them ever from sustaining over about four instruction executions per cycle in the best-case scenario.

	Itanium (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		At the most basic level the Itanium design is similar to RISC -- the core logic consists of a small set of instructions that are designed to run very fast.
		Where the Itanium breaks with current RISC design philosophy is in how it feeds instructions into those core units.
		The next step for the Itanium family is expected to be a 130 nm Itanium2 with 9MB L3 cache at around 1.8Ghz.

	Merced Facts and Speculations
		By the way, in 1980's, when RISC concept has appeared, there were many assertions that "CISC ran out of gas" and that CISC has fundamental attributes that limit performance.
		But on 14 Oct, 1997 at Microprocessor Forum ([3]) HP and Intel officials revealed that IA-64 family microprocessors would contain N replicated sets of three functional units and it is naturally to assume that such a set must contain one integer, one floating-point and one load/store units.
		Processors of x86 family has never been used for these purposes so it is not clear why Merced is to support x86.

		According to sources, HP is releasing its last chip in the PA/RISC family that powers its high-performance and high-availability network servers.
		Closing out this family is part of HP's plans to move its customer base to the Itanium platform, which HP co-designed with Intel in the 1990's.
		HP is planning to phase out the older servers running HP-UX over the next three years in order to ease the transition for its loyal customer base.

	Hewlett-Packard PA-RISC 8800 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Like all advanced RISC processors the PA-8700(+) has out-of-order execution, the sequence of instructions being determined by the instruction reorder buffer (IRB) which contains an ALU buffer that drives the computational functional units and a memory buffer that controls the load/store units.
		According to HP's roadmap at least one new generation of the PA-8x00 family is projected: the PA-8900 that will be on the market concurrently with the IA-64 Itanium Montecito.
		The signals are somewhat confusing in that respect: sometimes is also stated that the PA-RISC family will stop at this latest PA-8800 chip (which we think to be more likely).
