ii. An increased number of instructions (200 to 300) results in a much more complex
processor, requiring millions of transistors.
iii. Instructions are of variable lengths, using 8, 16 or 32 bits for storage. This results in
the processor’s time being spent in calculating where each instruction begins and
ends.
iv. With large number of application software programs being written for the processor,
a new processor has to be backwards compatible to the older version of processors.
v. AMD and Cyrix are based on CISC.
2. RISC has simple, single-cycle instructions, which performs only basic instructions. RISC
