ARM is only more power efficient below 10 to 15 W or so. Above that, doesn't matter much between ARM and x86.
The real benefit is somewhat abstract. Only two companies can make x86, and only one of them knows how to do it well. ARM (and RISC V) opens up the market to more players.
technically 3, VIA still has a x86 license, they just don't do consumer parts.
