What is the difference between MIPS and RISC?

Question

It states that MIPS is a type of RISC. What is the story? Are there any formats / command models / programming models, how to communicate MIPS from RISC? Is RISC a broader concept?

Answer 1

Yes. RISC is a broader concept. MIPS is the RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Chip) architecture. Reduced Architecture (RISC) is generally simpler and has few operations. Complex architecture (CISC), such as x86, contains more instructions, some of which replace the RISC instruction sequence.

Answer 2

From the mips taginfo page :

MIPS is the common RISC (computer with a reduced instruction set) ISA (instruction set architecture), one of the first of its kind. Currently, MIPS can refer to both the hardware implementation of ISA and the assembly language itself.
