new ARM processors will start a new trend(equivalent to Apple M2 cip performance per wat)from next year....maybe it is wise to hold your horses for a while

I disagree; this is hypothetical and should go beyond performance. There are many, many examples of technically superior processors being limited by software support. Will we be locked to a specific boot process? Will there be drivers and support? Qualcomm is particularly known for holding drivers close to their chest.

To be clear, I've previously posted that it would be cool to see an ARM board, but so far the ARM vendors haven't really delivered much supporting an open and consistent system, and there aren't any prospects for it, either.
