"CISC (complex Instruction Set Computer), with all the possible adressing modes on the instructions"
although the actual number of instructions is quite small!
So, taking the words at face-value, it is quite "simple" relative to something "complex" like a Pentium;
It is also quite "simple" relative to something like the ARM - which is RISC!
"CISC" and "RISC" have to do with design philosophy rather than raw counts of numbers of instructions...
