In fact, most modern CISC processors actually translate their instructions to an internalized RISC format for efficiency.

实际上，现代CISC处理器将自己的指令转换成了内部使用的risc格式，以实现更高的效率。

In many revolutions of the computer techniques, the most significant one is the transmission from Complex Instruction Set computer (CISC) to Reduced Instruction Set computer (RISC) architecture.

在计算机技术的许多变革中，最有意义的变革是从复杂指令集(CISC)过渡到精简指令集(RISC)体系结构。

While complex instructions have many pitfalls, a small number of carefully selected complex instructions can usefully increase the performance of both CISC and RISC processors.

但经过周密考虑所选择的少量复杂指令有助于提高CISC和RISC微处理器的性能。
