Genuine question: Do you think Apple will want to move their supply chain on feom the very successful M series Arm based processors, particularly when they have very performant x86 interpretation layers, killer benchmarks, and all the other selling points. I imagine at this point they will be locked in for at least one more cycle, M5, given the lead times on chip production, etc.
RISC-V could be a thing, but its another massive OS move, driver move, new transcription layer(s), and potential instability, for some unproven gains at this point. Arm ramping up pricing could force the issue, I guess
