Question :

Discuss important features of a CISC microprocessor.

• CISC architecture consists of full set of instructions that are complex, larger, have more computational power and so on.
• A single CISC instruction can be used to execute several low-level operations, multistep operations and multiple addressing modes.
• The execution time of these instructions is long. Intel's X86 is an example of CISC architecture.
