ARM is RISC and owns the

It is not the technology which I am disputing, but merely the continued
use of obsolete terminology. In the literal sense of the acronym, ARM is
definitely not RISC. Not only does ARM have a large number of
instructions, including multiple multiply instructions, but it even has
(Oh horror of horrors) a divide instruction.

In the original RISC concept, such inherently time consuming
instruction were anathema.
