64-Bit architectures and GPUs are totally different beasts requiring MMU's and OS's and whole development teams. My last project used a 14 pin processor with 195 lines of bare metal C code compiling to 486 bytes of Flash memory and running on an internal 32Khz clock. This is more the target 8051 market though I must admit some cortex M0 processors are getting as cheap to use here. The Propeller Chip is awesome (no interrupts and 8 processors is a really cool concept) but at $8 it is going against the big boys (Freescale/ST/Microchip) with their more flexible memory, power management and rich peripheral sets. I would love for one of the big players to licence the propeller core but it wont happen.
