'Difference Between' Questions & Answers

Once in a while we come up with questions, where we want to find difference between 2 or more things.
We sometimes want a systematic point-to-point difference and at the other times just a brief overview of the variations in those 2-3 things.

So, let's dedicate this thread to all the difference between questions and answers.

I think this thread can be very useful to all the technical queries at the student as well as professional level.

    hmmm...I didn't exactly understand what you are trying to say. Since this idea came to your mind, can we have the 1st question-answer thing from you?

    Difference Between CISC & RISC

    OK. I will do the difference between CISC & RISC

    CISC

    1) It stands for     Complex Instruction Set Computer.
    2) It has relatively more instruction types and addressing modes.
    3) It's format is not fixed and can be easily decoded.
    4) It's execution is slow as compared to RISC.
    5)     Mainly used in normal PC’s, Workstations and servers
    6)     Pipelining implementation is not easy
    7)     Software developers no need to write more lines for the same tasks
    8)     Used by Intel and AMD processors

    RISC

    1) It stands for     Reduced Instruction Set Computer
    2) It has fewer instruction types and modes.
    3) It has fixed instruction format.
    4) It has fast and single cycle instruction execution.
    5)     Mainly used for real time applications.
    6)     Pipelining can be implemented easily.
    7)     It puts a greater burden on the software. Software developers need to write more lines for the same tasks.
    8) Used by Apple.
