... ? As an embedded platform, I'd expect that people will want to support any feature which dramatically boosts performance whilst reducing CPU. Also, if Intel decide to keep trying to push low power x86 for mobile applications, rather than ARM, x86 may just make a resurgence in places you once thought were servers. 32 bit x86 isn't legacy and won't be for a long time to come.
