I think most chip manufacturers have plans to do that. But it's going to take some time for that to get to market. AMD, Nvidia, Samsung, and a few others are working on arm based chips for laptops. It will be interesting to see if Intel adapts. These things don't happen instantly and Apple seems to have caught most of the industry off guard by doing such a good job with the m1 and its successors. They put a stake in the ground for high performance computing on Arm and raised the ambition level quite a bit.
Nvidia of course has the added complexity that they were going to buy Arm and then that got blocked. They had to adjust to that as well. And of course they are the GPU provider of choice for GPUs to many AI developers and researchers. On paper they have all the right tech and ideas here.
AMD, Samsung and a few others have similar plans. My guess is there will be several options in the market in a few years. We'll have to see how good those are.

There's a recent announcement of them working on this now: https://www.reuters.com/technology/nvidia-make-arm-based-pc-...
