I just wondering if there is a computer, containing 2 physical processors, each with different architecture. Maybe the goal is to achieve a computer which takes the advantages of both architecture.

This is not only possible but is quite real. A common PC with a graphics card is an example of such an architecture. The CPU runs the OS and other applications on top of it, while the GPU is used for tasks it’s better at, like massively parallel computations. Some applications, like recent versions of Photoshop separate the computational load between the CPU and the GPU.
