Seems unlikely. 'RISC I: A Reduced Instruction Set VLSI Computer' appeared in May 81 https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/800052.801895 https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.5555/800052.801895 (and of course the original RISC paper was even earlier in 1980) The iAPX 432 paper in June 82: https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/641542.641545 https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/641542.641545 I should add that I only skimmed the 432 paper for references so I might be wrong on that!
