That's a general purpose CPU for use in general purpose computers (like the
Pi 4). This new thing is a microcontroller chip for use in
microcontrollers. There are currently no 64-bit microcontrollers on the
market. I can imagine it one day moving that way, maybe for portable image
recognition stuff? For now, it would be a very, very specialised niche and
that's not Raspberry Pi's aim.
