I'm not sure what you mean by "make it"?  And what is a "scape pod"?

I'm not sure anyone would have a reason to be concerned over ARM though.. When you consider all devices on the market now, including smartphones and tablets, ARM processors are used in the vast majority of them.  I doubt ARM processors are going anywhere any time soon.

There are already PC makers that ship Windows with AMD processors..  I'm not sure if Microsoft has any of their own using AMD, but I don't see why they wouldn't.  Personally, I had used AMD processors for many years (around 1994 to 2011), and I might choose and AMD processor again for my next PC build.
