AArch64 is what you are thinking.
It's not about current "stable" release notes. I quoted from the salsa/buster release notes.

Please watch news about the Microsoft project and a new ARM product. Windows 10 on ARM: Windows 10 runs on PCs powered by ARM processors. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/arm/ ARM Cortex-A77: Laptop-Class Performance https://www.arm.com/products/silicon-ip-cpu/cortex-a/cortex-a77 > > and a phrase "86" is alive since Intel released > > their 8th gen.

Yes, let's see what Linux Kernel use. arch/x86/ in 4.19 (Buster kernel) and 5.2 (the latest) https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/arch/x86?h=v4.19.50 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/arch/x86?h=v5.2-rc4 To make it consistent, CPU architectures should be same with Linux Kernel at first, I guess. Regards.
