I don’t know for certain, or in any great specificity, but in this context (i.e. ISA representing a more accurate or concrete mapping to hardware functionality/capabilities) I don’t know that ARM is particularly different to x86. The both present a relatively single core, flat memory architecture to programmers; while the actual processor is absolutely not that.

The memory model is a bit different on arm64, but it is not Alpha.

Other than that they are very similar

You may be right about that, though I had the impression that less wasteful parallelism was possible because of fixed-size instructions.
