x86 - Here to Stay?

Since PCs are used for gaming, and consoles are getting more and more PC-like abilities, it is likely that this may end up as a battle between the two different approaches to computer design, with each company representing a design approach. Who will win? Who knows, but one thing is for sure, lessons will be learned by this, either by IBM who will realize it took a wrong bet on a route that's been hyped by theory and not proven in real life, or by Intel who will realize that not being innovative enough means not surviving in the long term.

Nice read, but it concerns me.
For us, normal users, it's nothing more then updating to newer and better stuff. But it wouldn't be nice to see a company like AMD, wich has been succesfully making x86 processors for multiple years, suddenly dissapear because after all the design wasn't good enough.
It feels like saying goodbye, and knowing it's never going to come back, so sad

I gues I'm just affraid of getting older. It has to stop sometime, so I gues it's not so different for computerdesigns.
