I'm not opposed to this. I'm all for a more open architecture. I think AMD's already got their foot in the door with regards to ARM, though. Moreover, ARM is already dominant in mobile- and low-power markets.
It'd be great if they also explored alternative (and more open/libre) architectures like OpenPOWER and RISC-V, but I feel like they're not headed in that direction at this time – not sure what that would buy them in comparison to ARM.
I think technical superiority has rarely been the deciding factor in architecture dominance – otherwise, x86 likely never would have dragged along this far.
