why do you want a 64 bit microcontroller?

I don't necessarily, I'm just curious if there's anything in the architecture that would benefit applications where 64 bit addressing isn't a requirement.
Well its a clean new design basically the first classic new RISC design for a while, but 64 bit instructions are going to take up more space generally so it is unlikely anyone will make a microcontroller - 32 bit microcontrollers are still pretty new...
