I have a feeling Google, Apple, and Microsoft are leaving AMD64 in a concerted effort. All three dominate the K-12 sector.
Microsoft has already announced support for ARM with x64 emulation last month:
"We are excited about the momentum we are seeing from app partners embracing Windows 10 on ARM, taking advantage of the power and performance benefits of Qualcomm Snapdragon processors."[1]

- loxs 6y agoIt's probably not "concerted"... more of Google and Microsoft doing damage control because of the expected Apple ARM domination of the near future.
- zamadatix 6y agoDamage control of what part exactly? Are you implying they will make in house chips that go toe to toe to the A* in the near future or that Apple is going to start selling it's main hardware lead to competitors in the near future? Without either of those it's not much of a "damage control" response as it's the same Qualcomm family of devices Google and Microsoft have been using for the last decade.
