It's high risk and requires a much longer timescale than most companies and VCs are comfortable with these days. It would take somebody with deep pockets and a burning desire for a better computer to make it happen. Like Elon Musk with Tesla.

Agreed on the high risk - when you have such an established and entrenched competition from day one you have to be sorta crazy to bite something this big off. (and I mean "crazy" in a good way)
