Microprocessor Chips
Chip capacities are expressed in word sizes A word is the number of bits that can be accessed at one time by the CPU.
Types of microprocessor chipsCISC chips: Complex instruction chips
Most widely used design
Used by Intel
RISC chips: Reduced instruction set computer chipsUses fewer instructions
Design is simpler and less costly
Used by the PowerPC ( is a RISC chip produced by Motorola)
