RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) is a processor design philosophy that focuses on executing a small number of simple instructions within a single clock cycle.
RISC processors are highly efficient, power-efficient, and faster compared to CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing) architectures.
RISC processors dominate in mobile computing, embedded systems, high-performance computing, gaming consoles, and data centers.
The rise of open-source RISC architectures like RISC-V makes custom processor design and implementation possible.
