“why we got off that path”

As usual, the answer to that question is often

“Intel’s internal culture wars”…

I wonder if Seymour Cray i smiling down upon us or just wondering why we got off that path…

Fair enough. In some ways it doesn’t go as far as V1 was the point I was making.

Not… particularly? They don’t run the same ARM ISA version, and N2 is based not on the N1 but on the “Matterhorn” ARMv9 core arriving next month, itself an evolution of the Cortex-A78. N2 is not a variant of the N1, but rather a very distant cousin (A76 evolved into N1, on one side, and into A77 on the other; A77 was replaced by A78, which is being replaced by Matterhorn.)
