  >A laptop with arm and x86 cores might allow Microsoft to speed up its transition from x86 to ARM in the laptop/mobile world. I simply don't see this transition happening. Microsoft is working on a RISC-V port (as per RISC-V CTO talks in the RISC-V Summit), and Qualcomm is unlikely to release many more generations of ARM-based SoCs (as per the lawsuit, and as per Qualcomm's own talks in the RISC-V Summit). The only way forward is RISC-V. x86 is finally going away, and RISC-V is its replacement.
