1.1 Benefits of RISC Design
Some benefits that result from RISC design techniques are not directly attributable to the drive to increase performance, but are a result of the basic reduction in complexity--a simpler design allows both chip-area resources and human resources to be applied to features that enhance performance. Some of these benefits are described below.
