dumping x86 is not viable for the next 5 years for intel / amd
Well, I personally doubt AMD will release any kind of ARM products. Not counting designs with special-purposed co-processors, of course.
Though there is a possibility of AMD being a ARM friend in ultra-low-power designs, that they wants to break immediately into the mobile SoC market without the ISA wall, they will have to use licensed cores. But the company's key value is in their own core designs... say Bulldozer, Bobcat and GCN. At the meantime, they will still have no significant advantage but kind of disadvantage in those markets. e.g. no integrated baseband?
The only way I see as a viable AMD with ARM approach in the mid-term future is just hybrid x86-ARM core for their own products if possible and economical, and ARM cores only in semi-custom designs. And I doubt AMD x86 lines will actually die, unless AMD moves to provide high-performance ARM cores at the same time at risk, and, they succeed to break into the traditional PC and the general purpose server market (which are both dominated by Windows).
To me, it is more possible that x86 cores will successfully break into the mobile and embedded market...
