First we got this:

Then this:

Then this:

Let's not hide it: Intel, AMD and nVidia are the PC gaming industry as we know it. Qualcomm surpassing the Xbox X series and the three (Intel/AMD/nVidia) pushing, or be pushed, towards RISC PC may change few things. But ARM RISC PC also mean lot of more competition like Samsung working on CPU using 5nm processes... this come at costs of the historical traditional PC's software database.

Makes you think, I guess.

The general problem is the proprietary architecture and overall rent-seeking behavior. As a side effect of this, they're working against the wider ARM PC market, e.g.:

It's so bad that they act like a cartel whenever they think they can get away with it, in seemingly bizarre ways:
