## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- A [**computer**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/96654/is-ms-paint-a-good-computer-drawing-medium) with a **reduced instruction set (RISC)** employs a central processing unit (CPU) that follows the processor design philosophy of simplified instructions. RISC is the most efficient CPU architecture technology available today.
- This architecture is a progression and alternative to computing with sophisticated instruction sets (CISC). The underlying notion of RISC is to have simple instructions that do little but execute quickly, resulting in higher performance.
- The most basic RISC feature is a processor with a modest core logic that allows engineers to expand the register set and internal parallelism by implementing the following:
- Increases the number of simultaneous threads performed by the CPU at the thread level.
- Parallelism at the instruction level improves the speed with which the CPU executes instructions.
