Given the recent trend initiated by cloud providers offering cheaper and almost equally performant arm based alternatives, I predict that arm and hopefully risc-v will be the popular choice in ~3 years. As for the consumer vertical, samsung and the like will most likely offer arm based laptops to complete against Apple's M1. In other words, x86 will be fading away as most of the money is being invested in alternatives including Intel. This shift reminds me of the time when cloud was still a new trend and many were saying at the time that companies won't run their business in a cloud for security reasons and more. When the alternative is simply better for businesses, they adjust to the new reality to stay in business.
