Wasn't there a rumor that AMD was creating ARM chips? It will be great if we have ARM versions of EPYC chips.

I'd love to see someone do a serious desktop RISC-V processor.

They were, but have stopped talking about that for years. The project is probably canceled; I've heard Jim Keller talk about how that work was happening simultaneously with Zen 1.

AMD's equivalent of the Intel Management Engine (ME) is based on ARM, I think.

Intel used to use "ARC" cores, but recently converted to and i486.
