I think there is plenty of room for meaningful innovation. x86 won't ever hold the crown for performance per watt, but could keep building on just raw total performance and extremely wide vectors. Why stop at AVX10? Let's move to supporting 1024/2048 bits or even, eventually, get to full page size vector instructions at 4096 bytes!
