Instruction Registers is loaded with the contents of the memory location pointed by the PC.
In computing, an instruction register (IR) is the part of a CPU's control unit that holds the instruction currently being executed or decoded.
The program counter (PC) holds the address of the next instruction to be executed, while the instruction register (IR) holds the encoded instruction. Upon fetching the instruction, the program counter is incremented by one "address value" (to the location of the next instruction).
A register is a temporary storage area built into a CPU. Some registers are used internally and cannot be accessed outside the processor, while others are user-accessible.The instruction register fetches instructions from the program counter (PC) and holds each instruction as it is executed by the processor.
