Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
CISC aims to use as few lines of assembly code as possible, even if more clock cycles are needed as a result.
A
TRUE
B
FALSE
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -CISC aims to use as few lines of assembly code as possible, even if more clock cycles are needed as a result. RISC aims to improve processing speed by simplifying instructions so that one line takes one clock cycle. RISC code may have fewer lines of code, but will take more processor time.

Detailed explanation-2: -However, the RISC strategy also brings some very important advantages. Because each instruction requires only one clock cycle to execute, the entire program will execute in approximately the same amount of time as the multi-cycle “MULT” command.

Detailed explanation-3: -Explanation: The RISC processor design is more simpler than CISC and it consists of fewer transistors.
