Ha, that's very interesting, Its not exactly a hidden RISC core though, VIA has documented RISC mode in the C3 datasheets (it can run as x86 or in the pure native RISC)

What datasheet is that in? Is it available as a PDF anywhere? Does it contain details of the alternate instructions? I'd be interested in playing around with it

I don't remember that, and it's not with my other VIA docs. What is it called, so I can search my drives?

Well "...finds hidden god mode" sounds better than "...reads a data sheet"

Yeah, but it also means nobody ever read the datasheet of Via C3 since 15 years
