How did the introduction of RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) microprocessors influence computing performance?
RISC microprocessors, developed in the 1980s, simplified the processor architecture by reducing the number of instructions it needed to execute, resulting in faster processing speeds and increased efficiency in applications.
Microprocessors allowed the creation of high-performance workstations, designed for professional applications like 3D modeling, animation, and scientific research, offering greater processing power and higher memory capacity than standard personal computers.
