SuperH is 32b so that would need to be updated.
Another worthy contender to be rehabilitated is DEC Alpha. Indeed, the Sunway Taihu Light supercomputer (fastest the on TOP500 list) uses the Sunway SW26010 which is based on the Alpha 21164.

Seeing that Sunway TaihuLight still uses DDR3 I wonder how much power they could save by going with DDR4 and it's lower voltage. It's cool to see so many older ISAs coming back.
