"Go do great things".

I'm with you.

Go build a new computer architecture, Zachary Morris. It seems you have the knowledge and the support. Put it on kickstarter and I'll give you money. Godspeed.

A new architecture isn't going to happen until it has to, which fortunately may be soon. The best opportunity for that is if and when we start building parallel microprocessors based on one of the newer transistor replacements, but engineers need to agree that compatibility with x86 isn't important, first.
