Even more time, money and effort went into the Core Duo archeitecture, yet it doesn't seem like you have a hard on for that chip :(
I don''t know if that's even true, but in any case the Cell processor is far more interesting to me. I am not too fond of x86 processors anyway, due to legacy bagage. Legacy software compatibility is important for desktop systems, but in many cases this also results in huge technical and design trade-offs. Most Low-level developers will probably tell you they would rather work with something PowerPC-like.
