<p>It is an old debate from 80s, RISC vs CISC. Back then it was decided that CISC was better approach. I would not say that ARM is taking over the world, it is overstating. ARM and x86-x64 will coexist in the future targeting different or same type of devices for different purpose. x86-x64 is rather getting efficient in term of power/performance. Look at AMD 7nm process and soon Intel 10nm++. What Apple does makes sense only for Apple, but I do not think it will make any impact on industry. It won't suddenly boost Mac OS market share from couple % to any meaningful double digit number. Also ARM is not cheap by any means.</p><p><br></p><p>I do agree with Paul on data centers. That is main revenue for Intel and that's where Intel needs to compete.</p><p><br></p><p>The host of the show needs a new production machine, I suggest 32/64 cores Threadripper :D</p><p><br></p><p>Intel Lakefield is very interesting CPU from Intel. It has one x86-x64 new generation core accompanied with 5 ARM cores. The biggest problem for it is Windows which needs update in order for CPU scheduling to properly work.</p>
