You might be right, I might be wrong. We'll never know. I tried to find good numbers, but estimates seem to be made up; e.g. between 1 and 10 billion ARM CPUs each year. I couldn't find good data. Either way, even if MIPS doesn't dominate anymore, it's still a huge market (probably more chips than x86), and will continue to be in the future (even though it might be shrinking).
