I honestly don't see the point. I personally would prefer a CPU architecture with as wide a memory bus as possible.

All the way to 16384 bit and at least 4, but preferably 16 cores, each core with at least 1 MiB of on chip SRAM.

Now that would be useful to me.

You need 16 cores and 16MB+ of memory to control a toaster? A water heater? The washing machine? At the cheapest possible BoM and low power usage?

Because that's the kind of stuff an 8-bit micro does.
