Where are all those people who for years (or since M1) were claiming that x86 is dead because ARM ISA (magically) offers significantly better energy-efficiency than x86 ISA.

Of course they ignored things like node advantage, but who cares? ;)

Meanwhile industry veterans were claiming something different and turns out they were right

Asking which - x86 or ARM is faster/more energy eff is like asking which syntax (letters) is faster - syntax of Rust, Java or C++?

And same as with CPUs - everything is up to the implementation - compiler, runtime/vm, libraries, etc.
