We need architecture diversity for gaurd against vulnerabilities

We need atleast two processor architectures to guard against future architecture based vulnerabilities. I know Specture and Meltdown affected both prominent platforms (x86 and ARM). Ok the solution may not be ARM but a CPU significantly different to guard against this happening again. Hopefully Power, MIPs or SPARC may see an resurgence. I am hopeful of Power.
