Apple has already put ARM on their phones and I believe their latest laptops have the M1 chips that are ARM. Also I don't think Moore's Law has to end. Why do you include that detail?

Moore's law has fundamental limits in that transistors can only get so small before the electrons begin to quantum tunnel through them. After which, you can only increase the number of transistors by increasing the size of the chip. I think some roadmaps predict that circuits will become more and more specialized so that the performance increases without having to increase the size.

point is, both Apple and Microsoft is moving away from x86 in favor of ARM. my wish (in a perfect world) would be that Linux is able to push RISC-V ahead of the competition for all things IT.
