You may want to read about what a RISC process is:

The reduced instruction set computer, or RISC, is a CPU design
philosophy that favors a reduced instruction set as well as a
simpler set of instructions. The most common RISC microprocessors
are Alpha, ARC, ARM, AVR, MIPS, PA-RISC, PIC, Power Architecture,
and SPARC. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RISC )
