CDC 6600 had a RISC instruction set !!

It has RISC-like features, most importantly load-store architecture.
Simple instruction formats and only two instruction width options
also sound RISCy. But hard coupling between A registers and X
registers does not look like RISC to me. 

 
RISC-V is adopting a very similar idea, in preference to the
widespread current SIMD fashion.

WTF are you talking about?
Sounds like you either never read about CDC 6600 instruction set or
completely forgot everything you ever read about it.
