> But x86 and Intel are losing badly in the highest growth part of the market: mobile/smart phones.
x86 and Intel are making all their money running your k8s on AWS, GCP and other server platforms so you can consume on your locked down ARM device. That's where the big money and margins are.
Apple never really could get a foothold in that market.

ARM is coming for the datacenter too; this will not end well for Intel [1]:
Amazon Web Services launched its Graviton2 processors,
which promise up to 40% better performance from
comparable x86-based instances for 20% less.
Graviton2, based on the Arm architecture, may have a
big impact on cloud workloads, AWS' cost structure,
and Arm in the data center.
