1.Requires less registers therefore it is easier to design where in Cisc it is more expensive to make compared to RISC
2. Risc :Faster than CISC , Cisc is slower chips when performing instructions where
3. Risc : Reduced Instruction Set Computer CISC : Complex Instruction Set Architecture
4 Pipelining can be implemented easily , where in CISC Pipelining implementation is not easy
5 Direct addition is not possible where in cisc Direct addition between data in two memory locations. Ex.8085
6 Fewer, simpler and faster instructions where in cisc Large amount of different and complex instructions
7 RISC architecture is not widely used where in cisc At least 75% of the processor use
8 RISC chips require fewer transistors and cheaper to produce. Finally, it’s easier to write powerful optimized compilers. where in cisc more transistors and costlier to produce
9 RISC puts a greater burden on the software. Software developers need to write more lines for the same tasks. In CISC, software developers no need to write
more lines for the same tasks
10 Mainly used for real time applications where in cisc mainly used in normal PC’s, Workstations and servers
11 Large number of registers, most of which can be used as general purpose registers CISC processors cannot have a large number of register.
