undefined | Better HN

I don't know as I don't have enough knowledge about the matter. I'm asking because on Wikipedia and in videos about jcore (which uses SuperH) it is touted as a nice ISA:

> High code density compared to other 32-bit RISC ISAs such as ARM or MIPS[8] important for cache and memory bandwidth performance.

Fair enough.

For the sake of completeness, it should be mentioned that arm, mips and riscv also have 16-bit ISA extensions to achieve better density.
