Something similar happened to Slovene Iskra Triglav computer which was quite advanced for the time (capable of running three different CPUs) but then caught in between US-Soviet cold war/embargo while trying to sell them to Soviet Union.
Three CPUs with different architectures on one device sounds crazy. That's amazing.
PS3 comes to mind
Though in embedded, thats fairly normal.
I've got a $1 linux embedded SoC that has a 64 bit riscv core, a 32 bit riscv core for running realtime stuff and a low power embedded 6502 on it too because why not.
6502 to play C64 games of course.
