I don't see anything wierd about it. And CISC is even more complex and demanding(thus slower) than RISC so once again - missed statement imo
" Results 1 - 10 of about 465 for "IPS/Hz"".
Virtually only Wikipedia uses it, and you're saying it's not "weird"? (While the much more common IPC is in the billions of results even if you combine it with less common keywords like CPU or processor).

And what CISC means for you is that single instructions are more complex, thus given same MIPS a CISC processor will perform better (ignoring a bunch of other factors like compiler effectiveness at using those, etc.).

If you want to keep this ongoing PM me.
