Mobile platform might well be NVidia+ARM (dominated). I surely also
would like to see 64 bit and MacOSX (and Linux). Quite a daunting task:
multiple architectures and possibly cross platform (components). The
MacOSX family already runs on different architectures (Apple's A4 is
based on ARM as well).

I believe energy efficiency will become a lot more important and
NVidia+ARM clearly have something to offer that x86 will never get even
close to. According to
http://searchdatacenter.techtarget.com/news/1294993/Intel-vs-AMD-power-efficiency-hinges-on-memory,
on average, the CPU accounts for 35% of server power consumption.
