Top 10 major differences between RISC and CISC.

Below are the major differences between Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) and Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC)

There are many more:

RISC Processors:

1. Less instruction format.
2. It is prominent on hardware.
3. Control logic and decoding are simple.
4. Design time is smaller.
5. Less portable for design errors.
6. It supports HLL instructions.

CISC Processors:

1. More instruction format.
2. It is prominent on software.
3. Control logic and decoding are complex.
4. Design time is long.
5. Significant portable for design errors.
6. It does not support HLL instructions.
