#123727 - RISC?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
RISC means more than few instructions. Any CPU understanding such "powerful" instructions is truly CISC.

RISC mainly means:
- small and efficient instruction set
- very simple instructions (basic ALU ops, register transfer)
- each instruction takes 1 clock cycle
- few simple addressing modes (register, register indirect and immediate)
- large register set
- ALU operations only working with registers (socalled register-register architecture)
