I’ve got news for you: ARM has already caught up and has long been
inhabiting the high-performance computing space.

And you also have ARM based OS X Apple Macs in the consumer market.
 
Intel have had competitor chips (non 86) in the past and survived. I
think the main difference this time is that MS Windows is no longer
dominant. Competitor chips have similar revenue to fund development.

A second effect is the rise of GPU computation.  Some portion of the
money flow that used to go to Intel for their "next faster CPU" is now
instead flowing to Nvidia for their "next faster GPU".
