tilera claims to release a competitor to the x86 for the LAMP stack in Q4 2010, togheter with quanta(a big hardware OEM). but yes, it this requires proof. for some tasks(like HPC , multimedia) , the gpu can handle most of the computation , and the cpu is somewhat of a sidekick(like in the nVidia ION netbooks , for example). while windows would still dominate, the importance of a strong x86 cpu would decrease, by all the changes in the ecosystems , and the costs of the x86 processor will decrease.
