This link will explain differences between risk and cisc.

And this one will explain the difference between risk and itanium

These days, without referring you to whitepapers, vendor pitches and blogs/wikis AND with regards to performance - NONE.

CISC/RISC/Itanium performance are no longer vastly different or have wide gaps in performance.

What's important these days are the following:

1.) Cost (performance/cost)
2.) Adherence to industry standards as applications/workloads are increasingly becoming hardware and OS independent - that it is now possible to move entire applications - say from UNIX to Windows in a weekend.
3.) Stability.

Gone are the days when co called PC CPUs (CISC X86 architecture) are not trusted with Datacenter workloads. Gone are the days when RISC servers rule Enterprise Applications.
