edge-AI!

They're also building an ARM supercomputer at Cambridge, but server-ARM doesn't sound like a focus.

I'm just hoping for some updated mobile Nvidia GPUs... and maybe the rumoured 4K Nintendo Switch.

They say they won't muck it up, and it seems sensible to keep it profitable:

ARM doesn't have good server CPU IP. Graviton, A64FX, etc. belong to other companies.

Graviton is Neoverse, ARM's Neoverse.
