Until commercial games and professional software start coming with arm versions this isn't going to work out. And even if they did, I'm not entirely sure if it's possible to use the same gpus on arm at all so even if they really push it, people that do pc gaming are going to reject it.

It just needs to be better than the Intel CPUs with iGPU that power most laptops. Increased perf per watt is the first goal. Cloud service providers will follow suit, leaving x86 gaming machines as an edge use case. Once PS6 or PS7 runs on ARM then it’s game over.
