I feel like this will be an easier migration from a software perspective.
At least both architectures are 64 bit little endian, so all those buggy C programs that do illegal type casting might still work.
One issue might be that X86 is pretty relaxed when it comes to unaligned memory accesses. I'm not sure how ARM64 handles it.
