I'd be surprised if that turned out to be true, but I truly hope that I'm wrong and you're right. :D

  The story so far: ARM chips last longer on battery, and every high volume laptop manufacturer had an ARM model. Every smartphone is already arm. ARM already has mainline support from every major OS vendor. Every videogame engine builds for ARM targets. In AWS, Graviton2 instances are 40% cheaper for cpu bound workloads vs x86. Next time our reserved instances expire we will switch.

    Meanwhile, people are clinging to decade-old Thinkpads like they were made of gold. Most laptops and pretty much all desktops are x86-64, as are both major home consoles. Sure, ARM is dominant on mobile, and it's definitely going to grab a share of the laptop market now that Apple is going that route. Eventually we might also see ARM based desktop computers again, but having them grab the majority of sales will take time. I'm sure it'll happen - just not within a decade.
