#142628 - the name is misleading...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
... and also the "methodology" how the instructions are counted.

The point of RISC is NOT in low number of instructions, that's just so to say a byproduct of a certain way of thinking and doing things.

And, in fact, PICs are NOT RISCs in the usual sense of this word - although Microchip and PIC users likes to stress they are, as this is a modern and attractive buzzword.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIC_...#Criticism
