Unseating x86/AMD64 is going to be hard because of the inertia they have. Whatever you make, even if it's faster, at least has to be able to run x86/64 binaries at a reasonable speed or it won't get wide adoption, unless it's a very captive market (mobile/Apple).
I'm skeptical of their claims but I would just say, the M1 has proven that if you have an appetite for throwing away compatibility and a great engineering team you can accomplish quite a bit. It seems you definitely can throw away the baggage that comes with needing compatibility and make fast, successful processors.
