Memory to Memory Instructions was popular in the 60s and 70s with PDP-8 and PDP-11 ISA. The most recent one I know is VAX-11 ISA that uses their instructions.

They are slow but operate directly on the physical memory, therefore, are simpler to understand.

For reference, you can look up the Instruction Manual for DEC PDP-11 or DEC VAX-11/780.
