ARM or x86? ISA Doesn’t Matter

  VRoom! RISC-V CPU (by MoonbaseOtago)

I had VROOM! in mind (https://github.com/MoonbaseOtago/vroom) because I remembered it aims for 4 IPC avg with a width of 8. Though looking again it's 8 compressed 16 bit instructions or 4 uncompressed 32 bit instruction.

So you could argue a real mix of instructions is not going to be all 16 bit but some 16 and some 32, so the 8 is rarely achieved in practice, and also the block diagram only shows 4 decode blocks. But it can in fact peak at 8 instructions decoded per clock, so I think that qualifies. (You could even argue it's especially impressive, since RISC-V technically qualifies as variable-length encoding like x86, it's just that only 16/32 instructions are really used at the moment)

This is why RISC-V put a lot of effort on this, and put it early.

Relevant specs include but isn't limited to SBI[0], UEFI protocol[1] and the ongoing platform specification[2].
