No, it's a matter of someone making an ARM CPU that's worth using in a laptop/desktop. So far only Apple has, and they aren't sharing. The broader ARM market is still pretty weak & broadly uncompetitive with current x86 CPUs.

In the server side of things there's Neoverse, graviton, etc.. which might have "trickle-down" effects but since it's primarily focused on just having more cores rather than faster cores that seems unlikely. And that also hasn't "proven to be better than x86" either, Epyc is a beast and AMD doesn't seem to be slowing down or hitting any limits in scaling up.
