RISC Vs CISC

Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC):-

                                                                          RISC is a microprocessor. It is designed to perform a smaller number of types of computer instructions so that it can operate at a higher speed and it performs more millions of instructions per second. It is arguably the fastest and most efficient microprocessor technology available today

 Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC):-

                                                                                      CISC is another type of microprocessor. CISC architecture contains a large set of computer instructions that range from very simple to very complex and specialized. Most of personal computers use a CISC architecture, in which the CPU supports as many as two hundred instructions. Design was intended to compute complex instructions in the most efficiently way and later it was found that many small, short instructions could compute complex instructions more efficiently.

RISC                                                                         

-Consists of few &Simple instructions

-Fixed Length instructions

-Execute an instruction in one machine cycle.

CISC

-Consists of Complex instructions

-Variable length instructions

-Executes an instruction in two to ten Machine cycles.
