Yes, and we'll all be driving electric cars by next May.
While Intel is moving toward ARM CPUs and making them a commodity, ARM
Holdings is releasing (has released?) 64-bit designs as it moves
upmarket. Not that Intel CEO Otellini just took "early retirement" as a
result of board dissatisfaction that he wasn't moving ARMward fast
enough. Has something to do with market and economics, I'd guess.
It's the x86 that's vanishing, and none too soon, and the "full-size"
motherboard along with the internal DVD drive and the flash BIOS. But
not the desktop. The PC will continue to evolve for those who use a
computer to do work, while the proles watch old movies on their tablets.
As ToastyTech said in his review of Windows 8:

"Some idiots realized all they ever used a computer for was looking at
pictures of cats and random clips from "Family Guy", and replaced it
with a mobile device. That does not, by any stretch of the imagination,
mean that the PC is dead."
BTW, read that review of Win 8. It matches my sentiments exactly.
