Understanding Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC)

Variation A

Pronounced risk, a type of microprocessor
that recognizes a relatively limited number of instructions.

One advantage of reduced instruction set computers
is that they can execute their instructions very fast
because the instructions are so simple. Another,
perhaps more important advantage, is that RISC chips
require fewer transistors, which makes them cheaper
to design and produce.

Variation B

A computer whose central processing unit recognizes
a relatively small number of instructions, which it
can execute very rapidly.

Variation C

A kind of computer architecture that has a relatively
small set of computer instructions that it can perform.

Variation D

A type of microprocessor that gains speed by using fewer
instructions than the Complex Instruction Set (CISC) chip.
