This <ISA> basically completely dominated the <smartphone> market of the 2010s and beyond, but it started appearing in other areas as the end of <Moore's law> made it more economical logical for large companies to start developing their own semiconductor, e.g. <Google custom silicon>, <Amazon custom silicon>.
It is exciting to see ARM entering the <server>, <desktop> and <supercomputer> market circa 2020, beyond its dominant mobile position and roots.
<Ciro Santilli> likes <Ciro Santilli's self perceived creative personality>[to see the underdogs rise], and bite off dominant ones.
The excitement also applies to <RISC-V> possibly over ARM mobile market one day conversely however.
Basically, as long as were a huge company seeking to develop a <CPU> and able to control your own ecosystem independently of <Windows>' desktop domination (held by the need for backward compatibility with a billion end user programs), ARM would be a possibility on your mind.
* in 2020, the Fugaku supercomputer, which uses an ARM-based <Fujitsu> designed chip, because the number 1 fastest supercomputer in <TOP500>: https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/2021/11/
It was later beaten by another <x86> supercomputer https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/2022/06/[], but the message was clearly heard.
* 2012 https://hackaday.com/2012/07/09/pedal-powered-32-core-arm-linux-server/ pedal-powered 32-core Arm Linux server. A <publicity stunt>, but still, cool.
