Risc and cisc computing on one system? (Score 1)

Doesn't this basically also mean that this one, ehm, machine, can use different cpu instuction sets? Now i'm not a cpu workings expert but there are multiple instruction sets around, most systems use cisc (or something, as far as I know) and some are Risc. As i see it this thing can perform risc and cisc instructions by translating these instructions to the native instuction set the machine uses itself.

Am I making sense? It all works out in my mind ;-)
