Not to mention the raw savings of avoiding all the crap that has
been nailed inexpertly onto the X86 platform over the years...

Did you notice that "X86 arduino" Intel just launched ?

Does anybody but me cringe at the thought of an Arduino with UEFI, ACPI,
microcode updates and SMM ticking away in the background to make sure
it doesn't run too hot ?

If ARM and AMD are smart, an ARM64 machine will have the OS loaded
and handed over to in a matter of seconds rather than minutes, and
that alone would make a lot of people love them.
