Pentium I processors are CISC.
RISC stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computer. The design strategy of a RISC processor includes limiting the number of instructions. This does not mean that ALL RISC processors have less instructions than ALL CISC processors, but in general, they do.
Linux is an operating system (ie software) and doesn't inherently have any processors (hardware)
Linux can be run on a variety of processors, including several that have been used for desktop systems. The most notable would be Intel and AMD x86 processors, as well as PowerPC processors (used in older Macs. ) Other processors used in desktop systems now or in the past and supported by Linux include Motorola 68k processors, Alpha processors, MIPS processors, and ARM processors.
Linux fully supports both Intel and AMD processors. The kernel can be compiled so that it is optimized for a particular processor subarchitecture and exclude processor quirks workarounds, but there is no configuration option for outright blacklisting a CPU manufacturer.
RISC in DBMS stands for Reduced Instruction Set Computer. It refers to a type of processor architecture that focuses on the simplicity of instructions to improve performance. In database management systems, RISC processors can optimize query processing and data manipulation tasks efficiently.
there are two common types that is cisc & risc
This is not possible. HP-UX only runs on IA-64 and PA-RISC processors. It is not compatible with the processors used in most home computers.

Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) is a CPU design concept that seeks gains in power as a trade-off for simplified instructions. This design philosophy is directly opposed to Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC), which is the basis of the x86 style processors of the vast majority of home PCs and laptops.Performance-OrientedThe construction of the RISC processor is such that performance is the priority, rather than raw power. When RISC and CISC were developed, the bottleneck of microprocessors was power, meaning that CISC won out and efficient, performance-oriented chips were used less and less. RISC came back into vogue when the need increased for chips that make efficient use of portable battery power.Less VersatileSince the instruction set is so simple, that is, one instruction per cycle, RISC processors tend to be better used for simple and repetitive logic operations. CISC processors are truly "general purpose," meaning that they can pipeline multiple instructions at once without a preference for simpler or more complex applications. RISC processors need to be programmed in a very particular fashion.SimplerThe performance orientation of the RISC architecture is due to its simple and efficient instruction set. This simplicity means that RISC processors are easier to design and inexpensive to produce, making them ideal for purpose-built and cheap computing machines that execute repetitive instructions.Long Instruction StringsRISC processors can be adapted to run CISC style instruction strings, but they are incredibly inefficient at doing so. Since a RISC processor can only handle one instruction string at a time, code needs to be more compartmentalised and, therefore, more complicated.
good example for RISC processors is DSP (Digital signal processing) processors. simillarly for cisc processors is microprocessor.we can understand the difference between these two by a simple example. here it is, Convolution in terms of DSP is nothing but continuous multiplication. cisc processor performs multiplication by continious addition.but risc processor perform continious multiplication in a single pipeline architecture.
Yellow Dog Linux is a Linux distribution targeted at computers with PowerPC and Cell processors (such as older Macs and the PlayStation 3).
