Line 31:
In the development of architectures, the term RICH meant Rich Instruction CHip, implying individual machine instructions were potentially extremely powerful, sometimes competing with compiler instructions. In the 1980s, CISC supplanted RICH in the trade press, although I consider RICH a more descriptive (and mroe clever) acronym than CISC.
