    Except that the MorphOS team is not a registered company.

    ACube doesn't develop its own SoCs either.

    2013 (P5600).

    I6400 and P6600 are at 28 nm (from 2011). As soon as they (or rather their successors) are at 14 nm (from 2014), ARM and x86 will be at 10 nm or smaller.

    Not likely in case of POWER.

    Yes, on the hardware side this would "only" leave board development.
