I doubt it, I see no reason nintendo would drop arm architecture considering the 3ds is supposed to have ds back compatibility and it would be strange to have the ds complete hardware on board

I'm certain the 3ds is going to use newer ARM processors in a similar configuration to the DS


Well, they could always have software emulation, 3DS is definitely powerful enough for software emulation. And it is already confirmed that 3DS won't have similar GPU. 3DS will use DMP's PICA200 as GPU (DMP announced this at least 1 month ago), not ARM. That doesn't mean that CPU won't be ARM, though.
