ISP Information:
This type of chip use a simpler instruction set than CISC chips to get its work done. This results in more instructions that need to be processed by the processor, but they are easier to process and regular in size, so the chips can process more instructions per clock cycle than a CISC chip. Chip philosophers argue the benefits of RISC vs. CISC, but there is no clear cut winner. See also CISC for additional info.

RISC - In article ,joel@exc.com (Dr. Joel M. Hoffman) wrote: Once again, I feel compelled to comment on "VOIP News," which continues to look like propaganda for VoIP. This time, the "news" story being reporting is merely one person's post in a chat room. I think c.d.t is a wonderful place for dialog, and the VoIP vs. POTS debate is clearly the defining telco debate of our time, but it helps no one to hide opinion behind the title "news."I read this through the Usenet, and I killfiled "VoIP News" a longtime ago. The Digest became a much more pleasant read. In fact, Iforgot all about that guy -- until I read the above.
