Re:ARM chips have an instruction with JavaScript in the name by afiori on Sunday October 18, 2020 @07:47AM (#24817148)
This Javascript related instruction is complex in terms of a bitwise operator on a single value, however complex it is still a simple operation; CISC-ness generally relates more to accessing memory or interacting with the hardware in complex ways.

From the definition given:

CISC designs on the other hand happily encode large, arbitrarily complex operations that take unbounded amounts of time, and have very strong memory models
