Does anyone know of any good documented comparisons of CPU features in their instruction sets, register types/personality, addressing usages, rtl's, rather than the standard my-cpu-is-faster-than-yours-because type review comparisons? I have been looking for quite some time for this information for differnet modern day processors like x86, ia64, ppc, spark, just to name a few examples. This looks to be a dyi project but I though it would not hurt to ask.

What I am wanting from it is to study the hardware similarities and differences in terms of building an OO parser/classification and abstraction layer API to be used for performing static code analysis and then to build a more hardware platform independent RE type framework.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.
