The Mill is far ahead of everybody else, and even vectorizes regular for loops. A most beautiful architecture, what it needs is an implementation, and get out of their bubble. Intel and the Mill are destined for each other, but they don't seem to know how to join forces.

I don't understand what you mean by this? The Mill team seem intent of producing a chip of their own.

Indeed. Intel sees the Mill as insignificant, and itself as the Gorilla in the room. But in terms of the architecture, the Mill is on the order of 10x better. That's incredible. While Intel tends to rely on strong-arming it is the #1 Mill enemy while it has to go alone. But it should definitely not be so.
