1.1 Benefits of RISC Design

Effective Utilization of Chip Area
The simplicity of RISC processors also frees scarce chip geography for performance-critical resources such as larger register files, translation lookaside buffers (TLBs), coprocessors, and fast multiply and divide units. Such resources help RISC processors obtain an even greater performance edge.
