Smaller code size?
That is the primary advantage, although some RISC designs offer
Not really. This entire thread oversimplifies the differences.
x86 is a vastly different beast from traditional RISC. Further, modern
production RISC processors sometimes approach CISC in their complexity.
See e.g. the 'sqrt' instruction on any modern RISC processor.
And then there's super-scalar execution differences, out of order
execution, vastly different TLB behavior, ...
