The idea that x86 have RISC-like cores is a myth. They use the same techniques but the cores of x86 CPUs require a great deal more hardware to deal with the complexities of the original instruction set and architecture.

I've wondered about this for reason that compiling and performance is nearly the same for processors within each architecture.
