Why is pipelining more effective in RISC processors compared to CISC processors?

RISC has a uniform instruction length, allowing instructions to be fetched and executed in parallel.

CISC processors have more cache memory, making pipelining inefficient.

RISC processors use larger instruction sets that optimize execution.

Pipelining in RISC is only effective in embedded systems.
