# Problem What are the properties of RISC and CISC processors? # Process ... # Answer * RISC processor. * One instruction per clock cycle. * Complexity resides in the compiler. * Smaller number of instructions (30-40). * Load and Store addressing. * Simple instructions. * Instructions are pipelined. * Simple addressing modes. * Multiple registers. * CISC processor. * Complex instructions. * Larger number of instructions (100-300). * Set-based addressing. * Instructions execute sequentially. * Multiple clock cycles per instruction. * Complex addressing modes. * Unique registers. * Complexity resides in the CPU.
