Microcoded CISC has been state of art method to implementing CISC cpus since ... 1960s?
The one x86 that actually had a RISC core inside was AMD K5, which essentially used 29050 core with an x86 frontend slapped on it (in great simplification). Am29k architecture is still used and produced by Honeywell for their avionics systems.
