RISC
- (Pronounced "risk") - (Reduced
Instruction Set Computer) - A type of microprocessor that
recognizes
only a limited number of instructions. It's the opposite of
the
standard PC which is CISC
(Complex Instruction Set Computer). RISC
computers can execute their instructions very fast because the
instructions are so simple. Also RISC chips as easier to make (as they
require fewer transistors.) There are set-top
boxes and other iTV
related hardware that uses RISC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC
