Detailed explanation-1: -The argument for RISC over CISC is that having a less complicated set of instructions makes designing a CPU easier, cheaper and quicker. The primary difference between RISC and CISC architecture is that RISC-based machines execute one instruction per clock cycle.
Detailed explanation-2: -CISC ISAs use more transistors in the hardware to implement more instructions and more complex instructions as well. RISC needs more RAM, whereas CISC has an emphasis on smaller code size and uses less RAM overall than RISC.
Detailed explanation-3: -The RISC-V base is small. It contains just 47 instructions that everyone has to implement.
Detailed explanation-4: -RISC (reduced instruction set computer) is a microprocessor that is designed to perform a smaller number of types of computer instructions so that it can operate at a higher speed (perform more millions of instructions per second, or MIPS).
