This touches on an interesting question which I think underlying some of the concerns here today: Who will build ARM chips comparable to an i7 say that I can go out and buy and plug into my machine at home?

No-one does now and it's not obvious who would as we speak today. But if the demand is there then even with lots of obstacles to overcome, of course, then they can and will.

Not sure about the socket used (it might be soldered down), but aarch64-based workstations are already available for the general public, e.g. [1].
