Solution
RISC = Reduced Instruction Set Computers
CISC = Complex Instruction Set Computers
CISC came first, then came RISC.
RISC is/was an attempt to allow a processor to deliver the most processing power per clock cycle.
Both technologies have advantages and disadvantages.

An example...
the Pentium 4 is a CISC processor
the PowerPC chip is a RISC processor
(hope I got that right, I susually mix them up)
