The x86-16 to x86-32 went much faster than most of the 'PROs' thought it would. The P-Pro was a 'Server Only' chip for as long as it took to catch up to a Pentium 125 in 16 bit software. That was about when the developers started putting it on their desktops with Windows NT. It'd still run most of the old stuff and excelled at the new stuff. It'll be the same this time around, imo. Not even Intel believes that. You should be comparing the x86->Itanium transition with the x86->MIPS transition, the x86->PowerPC transition, and the x86->Alpha transition. (What? You mean those "transitions" didn't happen? Well, why not?)
