What is CISC vs RISC?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is B) CISC has many complex variable-length instructions (x86); RISC has fewer, fixed-length, simple instructions (ARM, MIPS, RISC-V)
B
Correct Answer
CISC has many complex variable-length instructions (x86); RISC has fewer, fixed-length, simple instructions (ARM, MIPS, RISC-V)
Explanation
x86 is CISC — one instruction can do complex things like load, compute, and store. RISC architectures separate loads, computes, and stores for simpler hardware and pipelining.
