React Server Components (RSC) are designed to run directly on the server and dynamically generate HTML that is sent to the client. They offer benefits like direct database querying and improved performance. Next.js implements RSC by combining server and client components to optimize performance. RSC differ from server-side rendering in that they are always pre-rendered on the server and only the HTML is sent to the client.
