Comparision of RISC and CISC architectures

This research paper presents a comparative analysis of Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) and Complex Instruction Set Computer (CISC) architectures. The study examines architectural design, instruction execution, performance efficiency, memory utilization, power consumption, and real-world applications. Modern processor implementations are discussed to evaluate how both architectures address contemporary computing requirements. The findings highlight strengths, limitations, and suitable application areas for each architecture.
