Such architectures exist (e.g. for signal processing). They just aren't good for running general-purpose software.

Itanium sold, barely, and still has people using it. But, as you can imagine, not with general-purpose software.

By the 2nd or 3rd generation, Intel had made some changes that really improved performance a lot. Was the final generation of Itanium the 4th generation?
