It's NOT about recompilation and porting. It's about OPTIMIZING for performance, stability
AND new hardware features like built in A.I. and Neural Net processors that Intel nor AMD CPU's have built in like ARM or their Apple or Qualcomm derivatives.
ARM, Apple, Qualcomm and Mediatek are ALL going to beat Intel AND AMD to 5nm. And that's REAL 5nm not optimized 7nm but will be marketed as "5nm". And by the time even AMD gets to real 5nm ( and forget about Intel as they are hopelessly lost in fabrication now ) ARM, Apple, Qualcomm and Mediatek will be chugging merrily along at 3nm.
With even MORE Power per Watt efficiencies AND ALSO just plain more computational OOMPH. Not to mention built in AI Engines, Neural Net Engines, GPS, Vision Engines NONE of which is in ANY x86 processor either from Intel nor AMD.
I am NOT an Apple fanbois.
EVERY SINGLE DEVICE running ARM and a version of iOS/MacOS all completely optimized and performanced tuned to ARM.

Worse, I see the company making some of the mistakes they made in the early 90s. They might still succeed, but it’s not the sure thing you make it out to be.

Until Microsoft...as they always have done...copied Apple as well and turned the lumbering Wintel Titanic around to follow Apple's lead.
The A series chips don’t perform as well as they seem to in benchmarks. The benchmarks perform differently because they’re on different hardware. There’s no question they’re currently on top of mobile CPU performance, but I’d like to see actual results of the chips doing desktop tasks, not the oft-mentioned Geekbench results.

Your snark about Linux being tied with x86 is dead wrong, though. It started briefly as a 386 specific project, but Linux has been multi-platform forever, and runs fine on ARM. I think you’d be surprised how poorly optimized Mac OS actually is. OS X started as a very clean product, implementing advanced features in an ideal manner, but it’s accrued so much crap in the last decade that I think it’s more technically indebted than OS 9 now. Apple’s contemporary disrespect for developers, that increases with every subsequent version, reminds me of Microsoft in the late 90s.
I agree that we’re overdue for change, but I think looking at one thing we have and saying it’ll leapfrog another is awfully naive. I’d rather expect the unexpected and be completely surprised.

The rest of your plagiarized walls-o-text make even less sense than that dumb rant. If I were you I'd stop worrying about ARM and start worrying about your LIVER because you are clearly drinking yourself to death.

You know why Windows 9 was never released ??
Because when Microsoft rolled out Windows 8 with that horrible tiled based interface as their "Convergence GUI" there was something WAY more insidious underneath that brain numbingly bad interface. It was the fact that Microsoft had to try to make Windows work on a phone, a tablet, a desktop, a video game console...EVEN THE ZUNE MP3 PLAYER... ALL with either Intel inside or PowerPC in the case of the X-Bone. The problem was two fold. Microsoft SUCKS at making a more lithe, modular version of Windows OS to suit the needs of a Windows Phone or Tablet, or low powered 2n1 Windows based laptop like a Chromebook, not to mention rewriting Windows for a wholly different architecture like the IBM PowerPC. So...TWO different architectures, WAY different Power to Watt performance needs AND stuck with the same shitty hard to optimize Windows OS base.
Therefore, Windows 8 was an UNMITIGATED DISASTER from every respect. So much so that Microsoft abandoned Windows 9 and went "Back To The Future" with Windows 10. They left the Music Player market. They left the Phone market. Intel left the portables and phone market as well when they shuttered the Atom CPU. Convergence was and still is DEAD with Microsoft.
Unless they take a page from the one company on Earth that has pulled it off. Apple. Even Google will beat Microsoft to the punch. Their ChromeOS / Android match up is pretty darn close to total convergence albeit in a multi-container way.
And the Computing Architecture that allows Google and Apple and eventually Microsoft to converge.....is ARM. Buh Bye x-86. Thanks for the last 40 years of computing. ARM will take it from here for the next 40. Tick Tock Linux
