I also find it equally interesting to see that dominance of Windows can be tested if non-Intel architectures start gaining more trust.
Windows is already on ARM so I don't believe it's huge issue. But if ARM+RISCV would become a nominal future for most and just intel+arm for gamers unless it's reinvented again... you never know.
pure fantasy today.. but it's so boring in IT with Intel+Windows for so many years.
