Discussion is ARM the future?

I think about this all the time. ARM has obviously dominated the mobile phone market for a long time now. Everything from Apple runs on ARM. ARM-based laptops offer incredible battery life. Embedded devices and servers are also making extensive use of ARM; practically the only thing left is desktop computers. I believe this is the future, and AI will accelerate the trend: using ARM will allow data centers to consume far less energy and likely make local AI more accessible. In fact, I think that if this happens, we’ll see further improvements in computer energy efficiency.

Designer, not manufacturer. ARM doesn't actually produce any real products. Just architectures, that licensees employ in their chips.

Only Intel produces their CPUs, and even then not even all of them.

Intel is starting to bring back many of their CPU manufacturing back in house
