Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) is a CPU design concept that seeks gains in power as a trade-off for simplified instructions. This design philosophy is directly opposed to Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC), which is the basis of the x86 style processors of the vast majority of home PCs and laptops.
Performance-OrientedThe construction of the RISC processor is such that performance is the priority, rather than raw power. When RISC and CISC were developed, the bottleneck of microprocessors was power, meaning that CISC won out and efficient, performance-oriented chips were used less and less. RISC came back into vogue when the need increased for chips that make efficient use of portable battery power.
Less VersatileSince the instruction set is so simple, that is, one instruction per cycle, RISC processors tend to be better used for simple and repetitive logic operations. CISC processors are truly "general purpose," meaning that they can pipeline multiple instructions at once without a preference for simpler or more complex applications. RISC processors need to be programmed in a very particular fashion.
SimplerThe performance orientation of the RISC architecture is due to its simple and efficient instruction set. This simplicity means that RISC processors are easier to design and inexpensive to produce, making them ideal for purpose-built and cheap computing machines that execute repetitive instructions.
Long Instruction StringsRISC processors can be adapted to run CISC style instruction strings, but they are incredibly inefficient at doing so. Since a RISC processor can only handle one instruction string at a time, code needs to be more compartmentalised and, therefore, more complicated.

What are the disadvantages and advantages of graphic processor unit?
when you know let me know lol
What is the advantages and disadvantages of corei3 processor?
An advantage of the Core i3 processor is that it is faster than previous processors such as the Pentium 4. A disadvantage is that the i5 and i7 are generally faster.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a usb soundcard?
A USB soundcard may tax your processor and can introduce some latency.
What are the disadvantages of processor regiser in the CPU CPU?
The word CPU is repeated in the question, and the category, 8086/8088, does not fit a category where there is a specific processor register. Please restate the question, and give more details, and/or the name of the register.
Are there any disadvantages to slim laptops?
Typically, the biggest disadvantage to the slip laptops is the lack of power they have in comparison to larger ones. They usually do not have the same type of memory and or processor speed.
What are advantages and disadvantages of 8085 microprocessors?
The advantages of the micro processor is that it small cheap to produce and is able to take over a lot of tasks that were time consuming to people. advantages of micro processor is that these are general devices which can be programmes to execute a number of tasks. The disadvantages are that this tends to make some. the disadvantages are that the can crash and you can lose all your work. by deva
Do real time processingsystem process data instantly?
The advantages are; if you have a processor that can handle all the stress and load of using the processes as they are called up in real time then it works faster. Disadvantages; puts a helluva lot of stress on your processor and if you have too many programs running without the necessary speed then your processor will overheat and might start to melt.
Explain online and off-line programming for PLC what is their advantages and disadvantages?
Off-line programming: allows development and modification of programs without having to be connected to the PLC processor On-line programming: ability to create and modify and monitor program sequences and data while the PLC processor is on-line and in the RUN mode
What is the advantages of multicore processor over single core processor?
Hyperthreading is cheaper, and will produce less heat. Overall though, dual-cores are better.
