Intel employee people who work on Java and LLVM at least, so they could release their own versions of those. I guess V8 wouldn't be hard to add.

The main reason to do a coordinated release would be competitive advantage, I guess, plus to ensure that there are actually compilers that support their new instructions available right from the start. Intel already release their own Linux distro optimized for their chips because other vendors were targeting the lowest common denominator
