I don't think it's accurate to say "marginal and dying". For one thing, it is my strong suspicion that we will see persistent memory on SPARC64 CPUs given Oracle's focus. It has a public roadmap going out to 2021.

We wouldn't let, say, FR-V or Alpha disrupt persistent memory features, but I think SPARC64 is still relevant.
