I do think they're on a decline, but enterprise moves SLOW and that's big money. ARM is going places, but the x86 market could almost just freeze entirely and still be worthwhile for legacy applications for a very long time.
And from what I've read, ARM has a way to go to best x86 for all-out performance, which is primary to servers. Reduced power consumption is nice, but we're already maximizing clock cycle usage (power utilization) with virtualization. If you have to install even 5% more servers to meet demand, there's no value in it.
It's not that black and white. In cloud computing ARM already beats Intel and AMD at single-core workflows and are more price competitive even with higher RAM requirements. They also beat Intel in multi-core workflows, but AMD is far ahead yet.
I couldn't disagree more.
If I'm not mistaken, isn't the N100 chip actually pretty good? It uses like 5 more watts than similar ARM equivalents while still having plenty of power.
At least when it comes to mind pcs
And give up their only advantage? That would be insane. RISC-V isn't quite mature enough to replace x86 anyway.
