I disagree. These processors used pipelining

RISC processor designs, but have nothing to do with the concept of

optimization in CISC processors use a lot of transistors -- the very
thing being conserved with RISC.
I was never aware that RISC was targetting on-core transistor count.
All I meant by my remark was that "modern processor designs already
incorporate everything that turned out to be good about RISC".
