How is ARM open? And simplicity is also subjective… x86 goes way back thats why it seems more complicated or “crufty”.

ARM is a huge corp like anyone else.

ARM got a huge boost now since everything is switching to mobile and their chips are more energy efficient than Intels. Added to that Intel was also asleep at the wheel and missed the mobile boat…

ARM chips are more energy efficient because they're simpler. Less gates/instructions = less power usage.

AMD's 128-core Zen4c chips are on par with ARM in per-core power usage, while offering higher performance per core.
