Question

What does the term "reduced" imply when used to a computer that can only execute a subset of possible programs?

Expert Solution

Step 1

RISC (Reduced instruction set computer) is a chip that is intended to play out fewer kinds of PC directions so it can work at a higher speed (perform more large number of guidelines each second, or MIPS). Since every guidance type that a PC should perform requires extra semiconductors and hardware, a bigger rundown or set of PC guidelines will in general make the microchip more convoluted and more slow in activity.
