x86 is dead, long live x86
8051s are just now getting phased out as control cores of IP blocks, which is pretty wild.
The 32-bit ARM and RISC-V cores are small enough and easier to program.

ARM vs 8051 is a licensing fee thing usually. 8051 license terms are extremely generous compared to ARM as far as I know. RISC is a being explored more readily, but toolchains are not nearly as robust as arm/8051.
