Hi all,
I've been curious about the relative merits of ARM and MIPS and just
stumbled across a thread from March in which this was discussed a bit
(http://groups.google.com/group/comp.arch.embedded/browse_frm/thread/732d062b040a5039/6261b3e0103cb19b?lnk=st&q=arm+processor&rnum=1#6261b3e0103cb19b).

I'm a physics student and have gotten interested in RISC processors, since
taking a course on Verilog/FPGA. I've been playing around with the
open-source MIPS cores uCore and YACC (from opencores.org), and it's
pretty fun to get a 100 MHz MIPS processor running on my Altera
development board.

For pure architecture curiosity look at the 16 bit Freescale xgate RISC
This processor can achieve code density close to that of a CISC.
