RISC-V chips will handily beat ARM on performance per watt, given similar specs and fabrication technology. The margin is not insanely large but it's definitely substantial in existing benchmarks.

Which will be great, just as soon as someone comes out with a competitive server CPU + chipset.

Surely these are in development, but based on the ARM experience, it'll be at least 5 years from availability of reasonable parts to any decent volume.
