"Right now, 64-bit apps and operating systems are becoming the norm, rather than the exception, for Windows users. [...] Now, #Intel is starting to at least think about developing a #CPU architecture that just runs 64-bit apps and operating systems. The company quietly posted an update to its webpage with info, and a whitepaper on this 64-bit CPU, which it currently calls #x86S."

Intel wants feeback for a proposed 64-bit only CPU architecture called x86S

The proposed x86S CPU architecture from Intel would ditch support for 32-bit apps and operating systems entirely in favor of 64-bit software, but it could support older apps with virtualization.
