AFAIK All new processors are built this way. cisc commands are fed to the the decoder and that device breaks down those commands into simple instructions (RISC?) and other blocks of processor work in that sipmplified "language". I mean there is no i386 commands in the pentium 4 (for example) except for decoder.
