I don't see how Windows would be able to compete on ARM TBH. Nobody is even close to the performance of Apple chips, and that gap is likely to grow over time as Apple piles on more and more specialized compute and takes full advantage of its vertical integration - something Microsoft cannot do. It's really nice to have a fairly restricted set of hardware to develop for. It's really nice to be able to just know that e.g. all your devices have a TPU, and a certain amount of GPU compute bandwidth, and certain hardware codecs, etc. On the Windows side this will never be the case unless Microsoft magically commits itself to chip design the same way Apple did, but even under the best of circumstances this will take a decade or so. Android is similarly handicapped. Intel will be fine for at least the next decade. Businesses will still run on Intel, as will cloud. They'll figure out their process trouble and retake the performance crown again from AMD, although by a narrower margin. All of this has happened in the past. This is due to one simple truth: businesses couldn't give less of a shit what hardware their software runs on, and moving everything to ARM is so expensive, it's not going to happen for existing apps. Most of us here would have a bout of OCD knowing we're not using the latest and greatest thing, but businesses don't have such a problem.
