Going X86 for the CPU would make them extremely happy. The time they save on the CPU coding they could easily spend getting up to speed on the GPU side. It would make porting games between the PC/Console extremely easy.
Larrabee has a CPU architecture but its designed mainly as a GPU and it has fixed funtion hardware for that purpose. Thats something which the CELL lacks.
Tease.
