Do you think ARM will replace X86-64 Intel, AMD processors in desktops and servers?

[Abhishek012]

My own experience lately is that AMD is offering excellent multi-core performance and battery life of even my AMD gaming laptops has been way superior to Intel's gaming laptops

News is coming again about Intel being up for sale - "Intel shares jump 7.6% on friday, report it’s an acquisition target" 😀😀

The shift from x86-64 to ARM processors in desktops and servers is gaining momentum, but it is unlikely to fully replace Intel and AMD just yet. ARM offers power efficiency and strong performance, making it ideal for mobile devices and specific server applications. However, x86-64 still dominates legacy software and high-performance computing.

Intel and AMD have both announced that they will drop legacy software support in their next processors.

Intel is now proposing a brand new architecture which is referred to as x86S and is basically a 64-bit mode-only architecture that removes all previous legacy support.

And if we talk about ARM then ARM is now working on high-performance as well.

AMDs recent integrated NPU will enhance operation speeds with parallel support of NVIDIA GPUs...

The everyday use is more and more becoming "cloud based". Most users do not even utilise 10% of the power their machine is capable of.
Cheap chromebooks are gradually creating a niche market. Plus they now have the advantage of being able to run android apps. With Indians obsessed with "cost" and majority of smartphones running android, acceptance of chromebooks by ordinary users expected to increase.
Once Blackberry used to be No1. Now they are non-existent. So who knows what the future will be.

Personally, I think if Android is made into a fully functional desktop OS, it would be great.

The only drawback of Android is that its apps are not designed for a desktop UI. If Google provides good incentives to developers, it could be possible.
