By the time Apple fully ditches Intel support, ARM will be common also in non-Apple desktops and laptops. Hack into SH will definitely evolve and continue to be a vibrant scene.

Microsoft has already used ARM in certain Surface models. But doesn’t yet have the extensive experience of designing ARM chips Apple has. The Mac Mini dev kit comes with a A12X CPU, which refers to a yesteryear iPhone/iPad Pro CPU range, the A12, souped up one level more than the iPad Pro. The latter, of course, which has since two generations been promoted as faster than the average desktop/laptop (altho applies only on specific tasks, definitely in video editing).

With ARM also being huge in the realm of AI, and AMD having not merely come back to the game but solidly overtaken Intel, Intel faces some years where they will have to maximizes everything they can in their silicon. Interesting times for hardware fans, and observers alike. Almost as interesting as when Intel ditched RAM as a product. Deliver the best or perish!
