Coincidentally (as no doubt you are aware) yesterday Microsoft released Windows 10 for ARM devices with built-in emulation, and a couple of hardware partners launched suitable systems based on SnapDragon 835 SoC. The future is arriving very fast.

Softbank's purchase of ARM is looking like a genius move even more now.

Yeah, but beyond that, I'm still of the generation (born 1981) that grew up hearing about amazing IBM RISC RS/6000 workstations, and so I'm still inexplicably drawn to any mention of this kind of technology as a “shiny thing”. I know it's mundane and broadly available in the lowest common-denominator hardware but it still attracts me like a moth to a flame. I know I'm a sucker.
