RISC-V International · Talk · 32 min · 2016 · YouTube title: Tuesday @ 1130 ISA Shootout – a Comparison of RISC V, ARM, and x86 Chris Celio, UC Berkeley V2
Why it's here

Cited as primary-source evidence that RISC-V code density is competitive with or better than ARM and x86.

What it covers

Chris Celio of UC Berkeley compares the RISC-V, ARM and x86 instruction sets, with quantitative data on instruction counts and code density. It examines how the compressed extension fares against Thumb and x86.
