I would give strong consideration to an ARM-based server with several hundred cores. I do HPC work these days and I have structured things so the code can work on both GPUs and CPUs so this would be of interest to me. If I could achieve the same performance in a CPU-based system as a GPU-based I would be OK with it. A reduction in complexity is always usually a good thing.
I don't have much interest in ARM-based desktop or laptop systems if they are not useful for HPC work.

Always finding an option that is missing.
Many setups of Raspberry Pi in laptop shells or as desktops being the primary machine for many to use the internet

...I would prefer a Disarm chip to be developed.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

that will be ARM chips and by knowing the iPad performance of the actual model I am really curious about the future models.
Lets see whether the folks at Apple can build outstanding processors for their computers.

ARM is a great architecture. But I use too much legacy software, available only in binary versions which, as far as I know, will run on an ARM. Some of it requires hardware specific I/O drivers.
When Mac switched from M68K to Intel chips, they made a great job of emulating MC68K on the Intel to make legacy applications run. The day I can run all binary Win64, Win32 and ... hold your breath: ... Win16 applications, and run VS for developing C# and C++ applications for both IA64 and x86 architectures (as well as for ARM), I might consider switching to ARM. That day hasn't come yet.
And I think they should rename their GPU architecture Low Energy Graphics. I'd love to pay an arm and a leg if I could get a machine with an ARM and a LEG.

Hmmm,
I've been using a Qualcomm ARM-based desktop for about a year. It works perfectly for browsing the internet, doing e-mails and even for software development. The only downside I've seen is the GPU is really weak.
I can say that laptops based on these chips are going to have amazingly low power consumption. No idea how the market will respond.

Do you have some special GPU or is some integrated solution like some Intels or AMDs?

Yes,
The ARM desktop is using an older Adreno chip. This isn't a problem for me at all... I am not doing anything during the week that would utilize the GPU. I used the ARM desktop daily for about 3 months and didn't really see any difference during light office usage.
Unfortunately as others have pointed out most of the software on the Windows platform is built for x86/x86-x64. I did not have this problem when I drove Debian for a few weeks... I could simply recompile the packages.

so it isnt a problem of ARM but your poor GPU chip performance.
I remember Adreno to be on smartphones

Shock and confusion. What a pitty.
There is a link in my previous post that contains a table with a partial listing of commercial products that were built using the Adreno[^]. Such as the Microsoft SQ1 for the Microsoft Surface Pro X[^].
The table in wikipedia is a partial listing does not contain developer boards and experimental hardware.

Look straight down to your left, now to the right.
If all is well, there should be an arm on each side

So does "Arm chips" mean that I should carry a bag of chips in each hand?

it is the work equipment... I can't only decide between 2 options, and mostly not even that, because I don't do anything that intensive with graphics, so the CAD-Workstation is not really an option.
At home... Quote: I really don't care about the chipset. Price, performance, battery life, compatibility etc are all that matter.
So I am starting to check things and look for benchmark comparisons between different options and.. Quote: I'm waiting to see what new hardware is coming out
to buy something before the end of the year.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

...honestly, I only use Windows because most of the games run on windows and I can't fall in love with consoles. I don't own one, and I won't buy one, as most of the games I play are keyboard/mouse intensive, like MMOs and the like.
When it comes to development... well... I write games, so... yes, it's windows too.
There are some games that run on linux, I don't see any apple-thing being a noticable gaming platform.
The chipset doesn't really matter. DirectX must be there and the compiler must support it. That's all that matters.

yes many games support multiplatform these days.
nothing bad about it.
still development itself happens on a windows machine with several graphics cards setups during tests (low-to-mid-to-top-range) and the focus for any "not-happy-face-smiling-clicki-clicki-game" - i mean games that head to steam or any other serious publishing - is still windows.
that's the central focus.
unfortunately.
