There's a big shift happening right now, you're right on that.
Traditionally, ARM is not as capable in solving complex issues, but more efficient.
That's why it has always been used on smartphones for example. You want a lot of battery and don't need to do highly complex stuff on that, that's what you have your PC for.
The big focus in the last years has always been to top the competitor in terms of performance, and only right now, people begin to question if the computing power they have right now isn't enough and if they rather wouldn't like to have a device that's more efficient.
The tradeoff is, you're more limited to this specific architecture. Apple solved this by making a compatibility layer for x86 apps, but that of course comes with a performance hit.
I'm no expert in that topic tho, so take all I said with a lil grain of salt.
Right now, I think you're better off with x86, because your server will definitely run on some sort of Linux, and we don't have any compatibility layer or something like that yet.
