Old marketing bullshit.

People like Novag and Saitek have been talking about RISC and/or 'RISC-style'
processors in their marketing material for years and seem incapable of stopping.

I suppose they have some notion of "RISC = good", but that's an early-Nineties
concept; processors these days are generally a judicious combination of RISC and
CISC and the whole thing feels antique, rather like discussing flared trousers
;)
