    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.
