Which gate is normally preferred while implementing circuits
using CMOS logic, NAND or NOR? Why?

Answer Posted / arijit banerjee

As because the logical effort of Nand gate is lower than
that of the Nor gate the time taken to drive same capacitor
with same input slew is lesser for Nand that that of Nor.
Means Nand is faster than Nor.
