At least in the M0 range, A64 won't be competitive on a gate count basis. M0s can be ridiculously tiny, down to ~12k gates, which is how they were able to take a huge chunk out of the market that had previously been 8/16 bit processors like 8051s and the like.
M33s and up might make sense as A64 cores though.
