The next thing or what has even gone on with Apple Silicon is going to be attempting to outperform SoCs and if you can't then you get pushed on having to make SoCs on chips. I think there will still be Raspberry Pi or other vendors that will have open SoCs and even Risc-V boards being integrated with Framework laptops but as time goes on we are still going to most likely going to be stuck with SoCs on devices because the memory or any other device is just closer to the rest of the Silicon.

Broadcom... that same hardware mfgr that makes your Debian install so much extra fun... (well, if you care about networking and integrated controllers...)
