I discovered yesterday that, at some time, some #CPUs could have alternative instruction sets. I never heard of this before!

And I was wondering: could this technique be helpful given our current needs of performance mixed with low-power?

Could simple instructions get directly executed by a RISC core instead of having to be processed by a CISC core, while maintaining some sort of compatibility with the current software?

I can't help but think at some point this alternative instruction set thing could be reused in some way.

By the way, here are the pages where I learnt about this:

Does anyone knows if there are "open source" #CPUs out there? I mean on a gate and not on the instruction specification level.

And lets make this more complicated by not considering FPGAs or other reprogramable logic.
