Picking a core like this might be good for bang-for-buck in terms of watts consumed and overall core cost- but most of the players that're worthwhile are being at least somewhat more restrictive with this stuff than the players in the desktop space have been with things.

It happened before. But Linux is like this vampire that you can't kill but only sedate (patents, yay) for a while. It isn't going away and it is far from dying, that you can bet your ass on.
Now you'll notice something similar happened with Ubuntu. Something about history and repeating or something. Well anyway I guess that's what happened.
Now there is Windows 7 and no more market depression and so everything is back to normal again. You'll even see the Apple craze fading away with those tiny worms and iPhone4 connection errors and people are starting to see Apple aint so perfect either.
So the marketing hype is gone, but Linux isn't, never was and never will. Linux is now the epic center of FLOSS colaboration of all huge companies all around the globe and so nothing bad is happening.
Just remember Linux != desktop distro's. It is in you tv, phone, watch, microwave, nuclear missile, vacuumcleaner and everything else that runs on a battery, but it certainly not a pop thing so get over it please :P

It is a constant race and people are throwing elbows in eachothers faces but this is the very nature of the sport.
If you look at destroying then the only thing you can destroy is Microsoft, Apple. Linux cannot die.
