I think you'd be incorrect but I'm glad to see focus on other ISAs nonetheless.

I'm not sure the power efficiency argument in favour of RISC really holds up today; Lunar lake has demonstrated that x86 can achieve stellar perf / watt at lower power envelopes. It doesn't quite meet apple (testimony to their own proficiency though they benefit from vertical integration) but comfortably pulls ahead of Qualcomm in this regard.

But being able to use your desktop software on any target, regardless of ISA or OS? Sign me the fuck up.
