Why does x86 still exist when ARM is simply better?

2 different tools for 2 different jobs. It's like saying "why do desktops exist when smartphones are better?"
Even if they were more similar, backward compatibility makes x86_64 practically immortal. The next dominating isa will undoubtedly be compatible with everything x86_64 is.

Ok, I will take this retarded bait. Tell me, what advantages does x86 have over ARM aside from heating your room better?

running non-NEET operating systems

Better performance, especially single-core. Which is important, because it's often used for running legacy applications that don't take advantage of multithreading.

>Better performance
M1, a fucking mobile chip beats every desktop CPU out there while consuming a fraction of energy and being a lot cooler.

Vendors prefer when their employers use software which is very mature, has good client support, don't crash very often, widely used.

100C throttling is a lot cooler than something else?

Even accepting your bait, you do know that Windows is fully enabled and available on ARM, right?
You're talking about the implementations, not the ISAs. There's exactly zero reason why Intel and AMD couldn't make ARM CPUs that are just as good as their current x86 offerings. If anything, probably better because of the more accommodating memory model and other ISA advantages.
Blake Baker

Yes, Intel and AMD tend to do that. Apple chips on the other hand never throttle.

They sure do in their iPhone instantiations.

Because americans.
ARM was british, and therefore inferior. So they shill x86 and normies who don't understand jack shit about this just repeated. Once America had hegemony in the consumer market, the server market followed because it became cheap to mass produce stuff in China.

define "better", OP
it usually takes a 5-year philosophy course, but try to keep it simple.

I responded to bait, not the other way around user.

It looks big because the M1 has no real turbo state, but in terms of sustained power, they're hardly 20% ahead. Given the process node advantage, you'd arguably expect more. Zen 4 is likely going to absolutely dominate it until Apple can get to N3 before anyone else thanks to "robust conversations" with TSMC.

Funny, people said the same about Comodore64, who at the time, was considerate immortal due their popularity. Then come the PC and raped them out of the world.
Nothing last forever. x86 will be dead in 1 decade due several factors (economic trade war between China and America, green energy shortage, etc), even the beloved C will be dead in out lifetime. Everything thing at some point will be replaced, it's just a matter of when and why.
