Most notably, when atari was designing the 800, the commissioned a 6509 but it was not ready in time so the project was scrapped. Apple went the seperate hardware route with the apple three, and Commodore (which owns MOS which made the original 6502, although Chuck Peddle, the guy who drew up the original chip how has is own company Sirius Microsystems that makes the Victor) have a few chips that can address more memory and that is it. I don't know if a new one will ever really come about.
