Well, except for the minor detail that the Transputer, focused as it is
on minimising the semantic gap, is actually quite a CISC.  You can draw
parallels with the Intel 432, although the thrust of the development
is quite different (CSP rather then capabilities).

The point still stands, however, that the Transputer outsells the i860 and
i960 combined.
