#27770 - RE: What is meant by RISC, CISC, ARM...
Some consider the '51 a RISC processor.

One definition I have heard is That if you have no memory access beyond load and store it is RISC, if operations on memory exist beyond load and store it is CISC.
By that definition the '51 is RISC for XRAM and CISC for direct RAM.

I believe that the CISC/RISC definition has gotten to the same fuzzyness as the microcontroller/microprocessor issue.
