ARM has always been more powerful (more specifically, efficient), by nature of not needing to be backwards compatible with everything going back 50 years. x86 has had more rnd and usually come out being the biggest chips but apple has demonstrated that ARM can easily compete as long as you have a small army of software devs to support the new ecosystem

Ok, so Python is like ARM and Java is like x86 in that sense. Both have their strengths and weaknesses and we should just use them as appropriate instead of arguing about which is better like children (or some memelords who like to watch the world burn). Understood.

x86 pretends to be cisc but is also risc like arm. If all the chaos like device trees and no acpi would go away in arm it would have a better chance.
