My bet: in 10 years, x86 will be comfortably ahead once again, and Apple will be asking AMD to cook up a custom solution with a ridiculously fast IGP connected to ridiculously fast (albeit non-upgradeable) memory. Similar to what they've been providing the console makers.
I mean, Apple already seems to have a soft spot for Radeon graphics, and AMD's CPU cores keep getting faster. Even Zen 2 is slightly faster than Comet Lake, clock-for-clock, and the performance/watt is substantially higher.
I'd even buy a Mac at that point!
