Maxim (now owned by Analog) actually manufactures a single-instruction processor series, called MAXQ. It uses a single move instruction, with a flag for literals, and a transport triggered architecture.





What is the intended use case for such a processor?

They are embedded microcontrollers, which run real-time deterministic tasks, with tens to hundreds of MIPS on fixed-point tasks. These are the kinds of microcontrollers used in products like household appliances or control systems.
