What is RISC?

RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) is a CPU design strategy based on the insight that simplifying the instruction set provides higher performance when combined with other techniques. RISC processors use a small, highly optimized set of instructions. This contrasts with CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) architectures, which use a larger set of more complex instructions. RISC architectures are commonly used in mobile devices, embedded systems, and high-performance computing due to their efficiency and speed.
