Multiple Choice
In what ways are today's CISC and RISC processor designs divergent?
A) RISC processor instruction sets still only contain fixed-length instructions that generally execute in one cycle, whereas CISC processors do not.
B) RISC processor instruction sets still are smaller than CISC instruction sets.
C) RISC processors still contain simple hardware, whereas CISC processors contain complex hardware.
D) Although many processors that are labeled "RISC" actually have adopted typical CISC features, there are still many other processors that remain true to the original RISC characteristics.
