I know arm vs x86 is a frequent subject here. I stumbled across this interview of Mike Clark that addresses the subject. tldr; ISA doesn't really matter.

ARM is superior in every way. That's why manufacturers are flocking to ARM. Fuck Intel's monopoly over x86. High time we got something good.

He isn't good enough to be talking like that. Apple's Arm engineers has been shitting all over this guy's team for half a decade now

Not when you factor in things like AVX 512. ARM may be somewhat more efficient but x86 is still the muscle car of the CPU world capable of brute forcing things when code is optimized for AVX 512. Anything optimized for that is where ARM get's utterly slaughtered.
