After the development by Apple of its M-series ... aren't Intel and AMD becoming irrelevant?

I wasn't suggesting a switch to the Mac. I was thinking about PCs moving to the Apple processor.
Intel had its day ... which lasted for forty years.
But times change. If Intel doesn't step up its game in a MAJOR way then the competition could eat its lunch.
It has happened before.
As for PC makers being unwilling to switch? Well ... they resisted AMD for years ... but no more.
And Apple moved from MC68xxx to Power PC to Intel ... to M1.
Change happens.
