This allows for the use of processors which can be totally implemented by logic synthesis techniques.
However, modern x86 processors also ( typically ) decode and split instructions into dynamic sequences of internally buffered micro-operations, which not only helps execute a larger subset of instructions in a pipelined ( overlapping ) fashion, but also facilitates more advanced extraction of parallelism out of the code stream, for even higher performance.
Today there are additional technologies used for digital signal processing including more powerful general purpose microprocessors, field-programmable gate arrays ( FPGAs ), digital signal controllers ( mostly for industrial apps such as motor control ), and stream processors, among others.
