Yes, this was explicitly announced in the original Apple keynote: twice the general-purpose registers, twice the floating-point registers. I wonder what "modern instruction set" refers to, aside from maybe fixed-width instructions which I think I read somewhere. I thought the ARM instruction set was pretty modern already.
