D) all current CPUs are based on it

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) CPU hardware is designed to have a smaller instruction set and simplified execution logic. This allows it to be less complicated and run at faster clock speeds compared to CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computing) CPU hardware. While not all current CPUs are based on RISC architecture, many modern CPUs incorporate RISC-like features to improve performance.
