Ten,

Willamette could be the last x86 core we'll ever see from Intel.

Because dram latency is the bottleneck for most real world apps, there is no good reason to move away from x86 on the desktop. The difference in clock speeds and architectural performance between K7 and
the fastest RISC chips appears to be minimal.
