Difficult to say, Arm is a bit weird when you compare it to x64 CPU's because it does not have comlex instructions (by design) which means that for low intensity and 'simple' workloads an Arm CPU will be vastly more power efficient. However the more complicated the workload gets the more x64 has an advantage due to specialized instructions.

So for most users yes Arm will start being very competetive since the #1 metric there is battery life. However for datacenter, workstation and gaming usage Arm just cannot compete and very likely never will.
