Umm, ARM has the share in the phone market where Intel/ AMD couldn't make a dent... It's a matter of time other shares will be eaten when x86 is having hard time innovating over its decades old design. More battery time for consumers laptop and less electricity bill for cloud vendors are something very attractive.

> Umm, ARM has the share in the phone market where Intel/ AMD couldn't make a dent... Yes, obviously, which I mentioned repeatedly. For ARM to be successful outside of embedded it took an entirely new category of device to appear. What's RISC-V's entirely new category of device where it happens to be uniquely positioned? > It's a matter of time other shares will be eaten when x86 is having hard time innovating over its decades old design. Based off of what? The only ARM CPU that isn't thoroughly outclassed by AMD & Intel's x86 CPUs is Apple's, and Apple sure isn't licensing that to anyone. And so far every time ARM has tried to enter the domain of x86 it's been either absolutely embarrassingly bad (laptops) or mediocre at best and only for the very latest generation at that (servers) > less electricity bill for cloud vendors ARM server CPUs have the ~same 250W TDPs of Intel & AMD server CPUs. There's no power savings to be had here.
