CISC processors ____
|
|
Are physically larger
|
|
|
Are better at complex tasks
|
|
|
Use more electricity than RISC
|
|
|
Expect more work from the compiler to generate more code
|
|
|
Not as good at pipelining
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Because RISC instructions are simpler than those used in pre-RISC processors (now called CISC, or Complex Instruction Set Computer), they are more conducive to pipelining. While CISC instructions varied in length, RISC instructions are all the same length and can be fetched in a single operation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Yes, it is possible. Intel is and x86 company based on CISC architecture which makes use of pipe-lining.
