for what it's worth amd64 is not going anywhere outside of Macs for at least the next decade, possibly two.

Despite the benefits ARM provides amd64 undeniably has advantages and non-trivial ones at that.

personally, I'm of the opinion it'll come to a coexistence for a time rather than one dominating the other immediately.

Are you confusing "amd64" with "Aarch64"? "amd64" has nothing to do with Macs/Apple products.

Anyway, both amd64 and Aarch64 are already being used outside of Macs/Apple products.

Apple still sells many computers that execute the amd64 insurrection set.
