In a broader sense, ARM processors are found in everything else (TVs, setbox boxes/media dongles, phones, networking equipment, tablets, talking tubes, smart plugs, cameras, etc.) to a greater degree than any other CPU architecture. And ARM is making inroads into server and PCs/laptops (e.g. chromebooks) and has been for a while now. I'm sure there'll be a long fight with x86 which I hope nobody every fully "wins".

No, x86 is still the most prevalent server architecture. That could change though, pretty easily.
