Well, many x86 CPUs have RISC cores, so absolutely, not even counting

It'd be fun to see a hard-wired CPU again with, say, sparse-vector
dot product or matrix transpose instructions.
But that would be going back to my APL comment. When does today's
math pedagogy introduce the idea of matrices and vectors, anyway?
Before or after C programming?

Maybe it's time for the RISC resurgence.
Uhh. Has it not been the case for some time that there are far more
RISC processors around than CISC/etc?
