We'll see. ARM architecture is now about 36 years old. I believe RISC V originated about 10 years ago. I think MIPS started about 40 years ago, but I believe it has finally ground to a stop.

The way I see it is that x86 is still around despite ARM, so ARM will still be around despite RISC-V. No reason why all three can't exist.
