Red Pike cipher

So, if I understand this right;
x and k are pairs of 32-bit numbers, as Red Pike is a 64-bit block
system and 32 is the maximum int size on most platforms.

k is key material, x is a pointer to the data.

No state is preserved when encrypting x with k, so to encrypt lots of
data, you must string it into a series of "x" and apply the cipher to
each block.

Am I mistaken? Is this any better than AES-ECB, then, if no cipher state
is preserved between encrypted blocks?
