This was bound to happen sooner rather than later—desktop mini-PC designer GEEKOM, which specializes in mini-PCs powered by mobile processors, teased its first product powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite processor. This marks one of the first consumer desktop with Windows 11 Arm. The company hasn't put out specs for the desktop, but it should go up against the base model of the Apple Mac Mini M4 in use-case—as a slick and efficient everyday desktop for Internet and office productivity. The GEEKOM desktop has a very Mac Mini-like product design. The front features a power button in the right place, next to a 4-pole headset jack, and a couple of type-A USB 3.x ports. The side appears to have a multi-format card reader. There are no pics of the rear I/O.

With this annoucement, this is what I got for the major CPU players and the major form factors:

SmartTV, Voice Assistant- Apple, Amazon, Google, Roku
Smartphones- Apple, Qualcomm, Samsung, Mediatek, Google, Hisilicon
Handhelds- AMD, Intel, Nvidia
Virtual headsets- Apple, Qualcomm
Tablets- Apple, Qualcomm, AMD, Intel
Laptops- Apple, Qualcomm, AMD, Intel
Consoles- AMD
SFF- Apple, Qualcomm, AMD, Intel, VIA
AIO- Apple, Intel, AMD
Desktops- Apple, Intel, AMD
Workstations- Intel, AMD
Servers- Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Amazon, Ampere, IBM, Fujitsu, Microsoft, Oracle

Did I miss a CPU designer and/or form factor?

You missed HiSilicon/Huawei in smartphones and, depending on whether HPC can be thrown into Servers, IBM with POWER.

If we go for some more exotic choices:
- Fujitsu makes chips for HPC and, AFAIK, still has SPARC servers on offer.
- Microsoft has Cobalt for Azure servers
- VIA/Zhaoxin for X86 chips are also still around

NVIDIA is also a big player on the console market IMO, I mean both the current and next gen Nintendo Switch uses an NVIDIA ARM chip.

I placed Nvidia in the handheld category for the Switch.

Sure let's make a good list. I'll add them.

I believe in there you should also be adding lots of the embedded SoC manufacturers as well (not talking about MCUs, but rather full blown CPUs that can run linux), such as rockchip, mediatek, allwinner, marvell, broadcom, nvidia, amlogic, nxp, unisoc etc.
Tablets- Apple, Qualcomm, AMD, Intel
I guess you could just copy paste the Smartphone ones in there, since you also have ones with Samsung and Mediatek chips. Unisoc is also often seen in really cheap phones/tablets.
Workstations- Intel, AMD
Ampere CPUs can also be found in workstation products.
Servers- Intel, AMD, Nvidia, Amazon, Ampere, IBM, Fujitsu, Microsoft, Oracle
Marvell could fit in there as well. AFAIK, Oracle is not making their own CPUs, they just use ones from Ampere/AMD/Intel, and I don't think they have any current Sparc product still being sold (could be wrong tho).
Google also has their own CPUs to compete with AWS' graviton.
