A modular system with current SoC-like ppcs is no viable way. The 8610 and 8640 are too different alredy:
E.g. the 10 has inbuild gfx but no LAN, while the 40 has LAN but no gfx. The 1022 is also quite different. Thus modularity would be possible with one chip only and would only offer to get different clock rates. But e.g. in the case of the 8610, here are no higher clock rates scheduled that currently available. I doubt that the effort to make it exchangeable is worth the benefit. IMHO the design should kept as simple as possible to leave the price as low as possible.
