I dunno. The cost advantage of x86-64 plus Linux and Windows was a tough nut for other RISC vendors to beat. Price/Performance, plus general support. For example, x86-64 servers could get away without SSL acceleration because the handshake was done in optimized ASM for most web servers. For other architectures, it wasn't.
