An interesting aspect of this is that gaming notebooks/laptops already outsell gaming desktops by ~2:1¹, and that ratio will grow as desktops continue to become niche devices.
I like your estimate, but I think it's on the conservative side by at least a couple of years. The migration from x86 to ARM will be slow until it isn't.

- dzonga 3y agoyeah -- I like a beefy desktop. but man oh man. the power that the m-series chips on macbooks deliver is nice. light package. good performance. no noise. less power consumption. i'm sure people gaming on windows will appreciate that too -- given the success of the steamdeck. if gamers could get 2K or 4K gaming. on machines using 15-30W whether ARM or x86. then similarly us dev's would benefit as well.
