The original RISC was the IBM 801, in ~1975, or arguably even the CDC 6600 in 1965. It is hard to identify anything that originated in the RISC-1.

Didn't register windows originate at Berkeley?

Sure, the IBM 801, the CDC 6600 and others were forerunners, but it was the Berkeley research project that popularized the acronym IIRC.
