This document discusses RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) microprocessors. It begins by introducing microprocessors and their classification based on data width and instruction set. It then focuses on RISC microprocessors, defining them as having a simple, customized set of instructions designed to minimize execution time. Examples of RISC are provided, and their advantages like simplicity, single clock cycle completion, and lower cost are outlined. Potential disadvantages around performance variability and needing fast memory are also noted.
