Perhaps an alternative is to roll your own multi-core processor with an
FPGA and some of the many 8-bit processor cores running around. This has
the advantage of you being able to select different processors for
different purposes, and also to choose the internal bussing mechanism.

Subject: [avr-gcc-list] Multi-core AVR?
I was wondering if Atmel ever thought about making a multi-core
AVR chip? Specifically I am in the need of an array of simple
processors, thus have 4-8 AVRon one chip would be great, basically they
could run off the same crystal and be connect through SPI or I2C
internally. Then using the chained JTAG they would be easy to program
and such.
Of course I can design a board with several processors on it...
