In this article we are going to talk about CPU architecture.
RISC stands for reduced instruction set computer and CISC – for complex instruction set computer.
The major difference is that RISC chips use simpler instructions sets to achieve higher clock frequencies and process more instructions per clock cycle than CISC processors.
Typically, CISC chips have a large amount of different and complex instructions. The philosophy behind it is that hardware is always faster than software, therefore one should make a powerful instruction set, which provides programmers with assembly instructions to do a lot with short programs.
In common, CISC chips are relatively slow (compared to RISC chips) per instruction, but use little (less than RISC) instructions.
Intel and AMD, for example, develop CISC processors (x86), while Apple and SUN use RISC architecture. Major problem of RISC – they don’t afford the widespread compatibility, that x86 chips do.
