An interesting experiment would be to re-implement the iAPX432 with the same resources as today's high end processors (caches, branch prediction, out of order execution, etc). A simulation would be good enough to run some benchmarks (though the old Ada compilers might be worth improving a bit as well). My guess is that the performance would be very close to an ARM or x86 with the same silicon area.
