Can other novel RISC architectures like RISC-V or ARM replace x86-64 in next half century?

    Apple has just replaced x86-64 with it's own ARM implementation.

    I think Arm could overtake x86-64 for server and client competing in about the same time period that x86-64 overtook x86.

    In 50 years? Sure, and they’ll be as likely to be replaced by other things in turn.

    That is an eternity in the world of 2020s computing.

    RISC-V is inevitable.
