We have been using x86 for the past 30+ years, I believe we will still use them for the next 30+ years at least. Indeed, the x86 instructions is so robust that it relegated the ARM to only "lesser" devices.
ARM is moving up and not down. Dualcore's quads, arms, working already, ready for netbooks already.
Whats keeping X86 the only desktop choice is ... Windows.
Linux can run on:
he Linux kernel is portable and supports the following computer architectures:
* Alpha architecture:
o DEC Alpha
o Samsung Alpha CPU

Windows:
X86
IA32
Loads of the instructions in a x86 cpu is dead tech, we hardly use some of it, but have to be there.
Makes powerconsumtion get higher with x86 no matter how you look at it.
Well, whats keeping x86 alive is mostly windows

The question lies in what impact will the android have.
Mobile phones, good god i love it, will it be good at tablets? will it be good at netbooks? exporting it to desktop, IT IS Linux, and linux is versatile. its kernel scales extremely well with device type. and in the end its the desktop market that remains the question.
Lastly i have to say, I dont like either inst. sets mentioned in this thread
