Sounds like what happened to the BeBox back in the day. They put their bet on the Hobbit chip initially (multiple hobbits iirc, hence the emphasis on multi-process/multi-thread) and had to delay quite a while to revamp their architecture.
Are you asking too much?
As for hololens, the current version is approaching EOL anyway.
I was not suggesting that an architecture change was necessary for Hololens, but are there a large range of low-power/mobile x86 SoCs out there to choose from? I know ARM has sucked up most of the oxygen in this particular room, but surely someone other than Intel is working on a similar line?
Exactly my point.

ARM and x86 have readily available implementation for Windows OneCore.

Does it make sense to call it "EOL" for a product that never took off? When was the "L"? Wikipedia says released March 2016 for a dev version, and an unspecified time this year as a consumer version. That is a rather short lifetime.
