| - | **Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC)** is a type of microprocessor architecture that utilizes a small, highly-optimized set of instructions, rather than a more specialized set of instructions often found in other types of architectures. | + | **Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC)** is a computer that uses a [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:c:cpu]] that implements the [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:p:processor|processor]] design principle of simplified instructions. To date, RISC is the most efficient CPU architecture technology. |
