So x86 has no non trivial components? It would probably force the hw manufacturer to think through its design a little bit more, which would be a good thing. I've seen enough of these SoCs with "complex system of interacting components" to feel that a well thought out design that needs less static description of SoC/board/cpu level details would be beneficial.
