RISC (reduced instruction set computer) and CISC (complex instruction set computer) are two major types of processor architecture. These styles differ in the way that they handle incoming instructions, making it difficult to compare the clock speeds of the two types, as a 2.0ghz RISC processor will be faster or slower than a 2.0ghz CISC processor depending on the structure of individual applications. Knowing which type of processor you have is accomplished by knowing which company made your processor.Related Searches:

What is the function of integrated graphics processor?
is a separate processor used to handle all graphical information in a computer. Its separate from the CPU thus decrease its load or work
Can you increase ram and processor in a HTC one x plus N my one x?
Yes, you can increase the RAM and processor in your HTC one X plus.
What is a nanometer in scientific notation?
Simply “nm“ as in: The new processor is based on 5nm technology which reduces both size as well as lifespan of the processor.
The number of bits prossed at one time is?
depends on your processor type and the workload on it.
Do 3 points determine a line?
2 points determine a line.
Is 8085 cisc or risc?
RISC is faster than CISC
Which has less number of instruction risc or cisc?
RISC stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computer. The design strategy of a RISC processor includes limiting the number of instructions. This does not mean that ALL RISC processors have less instructions than ALL CISC processors, but in general, they do.
Please can someone give me the answera) Identify any FOUR 4 drawbacks of a CISC processor compared to a RISC processor?
In CISC, the instruction set is very large that can be used for complex operations while in RISC the instruction set is reduced, and most of these instructions are very primitive. CISC computer's execution time is very high whereas RISC computer's execution time is very less. In, CISC code expansion is not a problem while in RISC code expansion may create a problem. In CISC, decoding of instructions is complex whereas, in RISC, the decoding of instructions is simple. CISC requires external memory for calculations, but RISC requires external memory for calculations. CISC has only a single register set while RISC has multiple register sets are present.

How does a R.I.S.C processor differ?
The term RISC means Reduced Instruction Set Computer, as opposed to CISC, which is Complex Instruction Set Computer. The RISC processor is different from the CISC process between it has far fewer instructions, but it executes them much faster, because of its simpler internal design.
Are Pentium 1 Risc Processors or Cisc?
Pentium I processors are CISC.
Contrast CISC and RISC technology?
CISC RISC Emphasis on hardware Emphasis on software Includes multi-clockcomplex instructions Single-clock,reduced instruction only Memory-to-memory:"LOAD" and "STORE"incorporated in instructions Register to register:"LOAD" and "STORE"are independent instructions Small code sizes,high cycles per second Low cycles per second,large code sizes Transistors used for storingcomplex instructions Spends more transistorson memory registersRegards,Foad GodarzyNSWER: I believe a CISC processor is a 32 bit processor and a RISC is a 64 bit processor
Why arm7 processor is not a perfect risc processor?
There is still considerable controversy among experts about which architecture is better. Some say that RISC is cheaper and faster and therefor the architecture of the future.Others note that by making the hardware simpler, RISC puts a greater burden on the software. Software needs to become more complex. Software developers need to write more lines for the same tasks.Therefore they argue that RISC is not the architecture of the future, since conventional CISC chips are becoming faster and cheaper anyway.RISC has now existed more than 10 years and hasn't been able to kick CISC out of the market. If we forget about the embedded market and mainly look at the market for PC's, workstations and servers I guess a least 75% of the processors are based on the CISC architecture. Most of them the x86 standard (Intel, AMD, etc.), but even in the mainframe territory CISC is dominant via the IBM/390 chip. Looks like CISC is here to stay …Is RISC than really not better? The answer isn't quite that simple. RISC and CISC architectures are becoming more and more alike. Many of today's RISC chips support just as many instructions as yesterday's CISC chips. The PowerPC 601, for example, supports more instructions than the Pentium. Yet the 601 is considered a RISC chip, while the Pentium is definitely CISC. Further more today's CISC chips use many techniques formerly associated with RISC chips.So simply said: RISC and CISC are growing to each other.
