When pentium was introduced? Yeah, it looked like RISC had lost. But that was not because it wasn't a better design, but because Intel had a lot invested in the x86 and that's the processor that was used in the PC.
Now that mobile devices are becoming as important or more important than PCs, the field has changed. Also, it's possible that RISC's parallel processing advantages will matter given the current trend toward multiple processors and multiple cores.
