Harder to do in CISC than in RISC but it can be done in either.
Just because it is all in one package does not mean it has only one “on/off” switch.

And then there is MIPS which are a “License it Your Way” set of cores…
If you don't need a feature, you just don't include it in the core-build when
you synstize the core.
And yes, MIPS can power-down sections of the core that are there but not
in use at any one instant.
