RISC vs CISC: The Architecture War That Shaped Every Chip in Your Pocket What if the chip running your smartphone is winning a war that started in a university lab in the 1970s? In this episode of the Embedded Tech Podcast, host Mac-Anthony Attah takes you deep into the silicon trenches to explore one of the most consequential debates in computing history: CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) vs RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) Discover how a team of graduate students at Berkeley, a brilliant insight at IBM, and a legendary British computer company named Acorn fundamentally changed how processors are built. We’ll trace the lineage of modern computing from room-filling mainframes right down to the highly efficient ARM chips that power our mobile world today. Stick around for our new segment! Mac-Anthony breaks down his recent hands-on experience running Google's brand-new, edge-optimized multimodal model "Gemma 4 E2B" completely offline on the NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin. Learn how a 40-year-old RISC architectural philosophy is making local, real-time AI inference on robotics and edge devices possible today. * History of ARM: https://newsroom.arm.com/blog/arm-official-history [https://newsroom.arm.com/blog/arm-official-history] * Try Gemma 4 on Jetson: Get started with local AI inference at the NVIDIA Jetson AI Lab. https://www.jetson-ai-lab.com/models/gemma4-e2b/ [https://www.jetson-ai-lab.com/models/gemma4-e2b/] * Official Guides: Check out the NVIDIA JetPack SDK Getting Started Guide [https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/jetpack] to set up your container environment. * Model Details: Learn more about the edge-first architecture on the Google Gemma Open Models Page [https://ai.google.dev/gemma]. * The Textbook that Changed Computing: Pick up a copy of Patterson & Hennessy's foundational work, Computer Architecture: A Quantitative Approach.
