It's a strange irony that none of these homegrown attempts worked out, but x86 is now threatened by the one external architecture where Intel was a performance leader in 2000-2005 with their StrongARM / XScale chips.
Intel giving up on ARM in 2006 was IMO one of the greatest strategic blunders of all time.
