Detailed explanation-1: -Examples of CISC processors are VAX, AMD, Intel x86 and the System/360.
Detailed explanation-2: -The design philosophy of CISC processors is to build the complexity into the CPU, so the computing process would not be so taxing on the software and other hardware components.
Detailed explanation-3: -CISC is most often used in automation devices whereas RISC is used in video and image processing applications. When microprocessors and microcontroller were first being introduced, they were mostly CISC. This was largely because of the lack of software support present for RISC development.
Detailed explanation-4: -CISC (complex instruction set computer) processors are used in desktop and laptop computers. This type of processor can process more complex instructions. For example, a single instruction can involve loading two values, calculating their sum, and storing the result back in memory.
