Noice. So how many decades until we get single ARM chips capable of over 3 TFLOPS of FP64 while consuming less than 300W and can run x86 software without a performance penalty?

x86 is FINISHED AND BANKRUPT
Windows 10 on ARM supports win32 emulation, so expect normies to start switching to ARM laptops because they'll be marketed as being cheaper and having better battery life in slimmer, sexier form factors. ARM will take over the server market because moar cores + less power consumption. The only market that will use x86 in the future is work stations and gaymers.

>run x86 software
For what purpose does it need to be x86?

Tru. I forgot that 99.99999% of widely used proprietary server software was written for ARM processors.
Silly me.

Okay.

Is this relevant? Even C can compile to both x86 and ARM.
As long as you're not an assembly programmer (lel) or an intel jew this doesn't matter.

Softbank moved its %25 ARM stake to its Saudi fund. Wait for news on that.

It's a fucking barrel processor, it's not general-purpose, you can't program it the same way as any other x86 CPU if you don't want abysmal performance. At best, it's a janky GPGPU competitor.
