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.
