new ARM processors will start a new trend(equivalent to Apple M2 cip performance per wat)from next year....maybe it is wise to hold your horses for a while

Now that some portion is moving to amr/risc-v it would be a good time to move to linux support. Afterall soft.companies need to recompile. Full support to linux, would demolish MS and Apple.

Best of both, would be to have both arm/risc and x86 on same system and with some software, use the corresponding processor for you app (like a hardware "rosetta" for compatibility).

Apparently, Windows 12 will be subscription-based. I wouldn't be surprised if this will cause a mass exodus of Windows users migrating to Linux.

Dual CPU arch sounds like a very interesting concept. Similar to having a discrete GPU and an integrated GPU to minimize power consumption while not gaming. Not sure how the two cpu would worth together on the same bus... They might have to run on separate bus with their own RAM because of how they work.
