Software can discover available ISA extensions via the <<_misa>> and <<_mxisa>> CSRs or by executing an instruction
460460
and checking for an illegal instruction exception (i.e. <<_full_virtualization>>).

[TIP]
464+
This chapter shows the CPI values (cycles per instruction) for each individual instruction/type. Note that
465+
values reflect _optimal conditions_ (i.e. not additional memory delay, no cache misses, no pipeline waits, etc.).
466+
To benchmark a certain processor configuration for its setup-specific CPI value please refer to the
467+
`sw/example/performance_tests` test programs.
