A growing number of embedded reduced-instruction-set computer (RISC) processors are available, but selecting one requires evaluating many factors beyond Mips ratings. Current embedded RISC processors are designed to provide highest system-level performance at the lowest cost. Consequently, the latest designs are priced lower while performance has increased, more-and-more peripheral circuitry is being incorporated on the chips, and designs are being optimized to work with slower, low-cost memo...
