    It’s only a matter of time, x86 is very power hungry and while companies like Microsoft have been slowly adding ARM support, they’re weary of having to rely on expensive proprietary architecture that can pull the rug under hardware companies at any time. Remember when Nvidia tried to buy ARM? Luckily that failed but with RISCV that’s not a concern. The next few years are gonna be pretty good, I can’t wait for reliable riscv laptops that can have good battery life and performance.

      x86 and arm are not fundamentally different in terms of power consumption. Any difference is entirely due to the surrounding ecosystem and engineering
