You're reminding me of a joke I made in late 2008 proposing PARMA: A merged POWER ARM Architecture.
From the complete lack of such products you may see that it was just that: a joke.
POWER and ARM64 are in different markets. If that will stay like that forever has been discussed here at length.
I doubt there is a market for a high performance (and thus high cost) ARM64 implementation. If at all this might happen in the 3rd or 4th iteration WHEN there is a large enough ARM64 software ecosystem in enterprise software.
