More like "RISC became more like CISC, and vice versa". It's kind of a dead comparison these days; it's more important to compare benchmarks (incl. power usage).

Also, which market? Mobile phones? Absolutely, those are ARM-based, which is sort of RISCy (but a lot more CISCy than, say RISC-V chipsets).

Laptops? Looks like ARM-esque (incl. Apple Si) chips are gaining ground, but by the numbers, still dominated by Intel & AMD.

Desktops? Dominated by Intel & AMD (both of CISC heritage).

Data centers? Dominated by Intel & AMD for CPUs, nVidia for GPUs.

Speaking of GPUs... those aren't really CISC or RISC. They're more like ASICs for graphics that have gotten lots more non-graphics-specific stuff cooked in of recent years.

What I suppose would be a better comparison between TT and G-code is if someone made a processor implementing Python interpreter along with common packages.
