> Since no one else has mentioned it... what about TRON?

TRON was the only response I received via email that fit the
requirements (a genuinely new CISC instruction set, not an enhancement
to some old product).  How long ago was TRON conceived?  I'm  guessing
it may have been 5 years ago, but I'm not sure.  It's very interesting
that TRON comes from Japan, and the U.S. is still considered to be the
leader in CPU design.  Maybe I should have asked for the most recent
U.S. CISC cpu design.
