: 9–12For instance, in a load–store approach both operands and destination for an ADD operation must be in registers. This differs from a
CISC instruction set architecture such as x86) in which one of the operands for the ADD operation may be in memory, while the other is in a register.[1]

The earliest example of a load–store architecture was the
