Apple out of the blue just dropped all amd64 computers and also blew their entire competition in the dust. In 2018-19 this was unimaginable now it’s accepted. Of course RISC-V is the goal which has been progressing really well (you can run a desktop on RISC-V on Debian). x86 32 bit cpus have their death clock set at 2038 so those will die on their own. Stay hopeful!
