If you want to hear the opinion of someone who is actually involved in CPU design, this is a ridiculously shallow take, and you should seriously recalibrate
In short, our machine code (control words) is far more imperative than typical RISC instructions. RISC specifies what should happen, ours specifies the what _and_ the how
Also, I don't think an FPGA is a very good description of what we do, but on the other hand I did use the same analogy to describe what I do when I started working here, so it's not terribly wrong either
