Well, not RISC, but microcode (or micro-ops as Intel call them). 
The basic idea behind RISC is that the decoding is embedded 
directly in the instruction bits. CISC used to be the norm until 
the 90s. But embedding the decoding in the instruction is kind of 
tricky when your needs change (like memory-bus bottlenecks).
