is moving it's CPU design to Harvard Architecture 
That's good.  I could go for that.
(Developers might be a bit irked ...)

Real Harvard architecture is sufficiently annoying to develop for that
I suspect the first thing that would be done with a true Harvard
machine would be the creation of some kind of pcode engine that was
effectively von Neumann.

Indeed, that's approximately how many modern CPUs work - we just call
the pcode engine implementation "microcode".
