Oh yes that would rock and open up a whole new level of fault tolerance as could run real-time upon two different CPU cores in parallel, which for some workloads would add value.

Certainly adding an ARM chiplet would be cool and technically doable, though so would a RISC V core and if Nvidia buy ARM then that choice may become political.
