That’s all past history, anyway. RISC very much rules today, and it is x86
that is struggling to keep up.

You are, of course, aware that the complex "x86" instruction set is an
illusion and that the hardware essentially has been a load-store RISC
with a complex decoder on the front end since the Pentium Pro landed
in 1995.
Yeah. Wrt memory barriers, one is allowed to release a spinlock on "x86" with a simple store.
The fact that one can release a spinlock using a simple store means that its basically load-acquire release-store.
So a load will do a load then have an implied acquire barrier.
A store will do an implied release barrier then perform the store.
This release behavior is okay for releasing a spinlock with a simple store, MOV.
Notice that there is no implied StoreLoad type of membar, xchg aside for a moment. Iirc, xchg has implied LOCK prefix set.

Another issue was the marketing. The RISC companies did not want to
damage their existing high-priced workstation and server business by
providing cheap CPUs for the masses ...

There was one RISC family that did indeed provide cheap CPUs for the
masses, even more so than x86, and that was ARM.
