The Pentium indeed has a much simpler design. But RISC-like, no. Not even
between a handful of quotes. A "RISC-like" internal design cannot exist since
RISC refers to a style of instruction sets and has nothing whatsoever to do
with any implementation style.
Note also that "not being RISC-like" is no desease. x86 processors are good
enough I believe that they can proudly claim CISCness rather than try to fool
people into believing they are somwhat RISC-like.
