Not my field of expertise and the site isn't that each to use.
But I did (finally) figure out how to search and I found a 'ARM ARMv8 2016 MHz (8 cores)' listed. There are others.
Geekbench Search - Geekbench[^]
So that is a ARM device right? (I really have no idea if this is what you are referring to or not.)
Following claims to discuss the internals.
https://www.geekbench.com/doc/geekbench6-benchmark-internals.pdf
It says is supports ARM on page 8.

Yeah it is. I just couldn't find it.

Intel is indeed removing some of the really old legacy stuff from there next generation of processors. They're keeping the 32-bit subsystem for older applications. What they are removing is the "real mode" startup and all the support to shift into and out of real mode. 32-bit applications will run in a virtualized x86 environment.

I don't know... I keep waiting for someone to come up with a GPU-based OS based on Ampere or something like that. It can't be more than a couple years out.

No thanks, I see no real advantage for me personally. I'm an infrequent laptop user so any power benefits are irrelevant. I've retired from the biz and most of my computer time is spent on games, a little video editing and the occasional photo editing session. I'd rather not be throwing away the hundreds of games I've acquired over the years (yes I DO replay a lot of the old ones). So I'll be stick with my AMD processors for quite a while.
I've used ARM processors on a number of the products for the last place I worked at and it seems to be a nice processor. It was adequate for what I needed to do, just some relatively simple audio processing for some 911 equipment.

There's no getting around that x86 is showing its age architecturally. Even discounting all the ancient backward compatibility, like "real mode", it's getting awkward.
The Intel x86 CPU's will never be able to match the performance of Apple M series CPU because of a design problem with the instruction set. When x86 was designed parallelism was not an issue because instructions were decoded serially. Today CPU's gain most of their performance from parallel decode.
The ARM instruction set is mostly fixed width while x86 is variable width. You can't decode instructions efficiently in parallel when you can't easily determine how to break them up into separate instructions.
For example x86 gets a sequence of bytes and first needs to decode the bytes to figure out how to group them together into instructions. ARM can skip this step because the instructions are simpler and fixed width. In that case it can easily issue groups of bytes to parallel decoders.
Here is an analogy: Imagine someone trying to direct groups of people to into separate at an airport security screening. They need to make sure that families go together in the same line. If each family could have 1-4 people then they would need to ask each person which family they belong to (i.e. x86). If there is a requirement that all families have 4 people then they can all move through to the x-rays without being asked.

ARM just designs and licenses the CPU core. Everyone who implementing the actually chips put a lot of stuff around it, like GPU/video and peripheral I/O (USB, I2C, networking (wired/wireless)) and a lot of that stuff is NOT compatible across implementations.
And that is even more true for those "little devices" that you mentioned than it is for anything desktop/server related...

I actually mentioned that in my OP, and said it was a win.
As far as the peripherals, that doesn't matter as much.

Are you suggesting this is something new?
Following says this happened in 2017?
"The platform started out bringing Windows 10 to Arm-powered laptops and tablets all the way back in 2017"

Perhaps. But is this a comment related to your business domain rather than the overall computing market?
I suspect choosing components for any system depends on a number of factors both technological and non-technological.

ARM is sooo last year. I hear RISC-V is the new ARM.

There's a few bands doing this. I think post modern jukebox is the most popular.
