:biggrin:
OK it's mostly humorous. But I wonder if we could finally be seeing the beginning of the end for x86? It's been around a long time and many say that its starting to show its age. GPUs are starting to take over the super computer realm and simpler chips are eating away the low end. x86 is stuck in the middle and that middle could disappear. Intel is the only company actually making a real profit on x86, so it's not nearly as widespread as ARM.
Granted we are talking a decade at least for a total collapse, but it could happen.
Jensen compared the x86 architecture to defunct Circuit City
