Just read that some architects are leaving Intel and doing their own

They're presumably intending to develop high-performance cores, since
they have substantial experience in doing that for x86-64. The question
is if demand for those will develop.

Android is apparently waiting for a new RISC-V instruction set extension;
you can run various Linuxes, but I have not heard about anyone wanting to
do so on a large scale.
