But aren't phones going to be going 64 bit too?

ARM is going to 64 bit to be more powerful, and x86 is getting more efficient. Somewhere they will meet in the middle.

64-bit doesn't refer to a design's power. It only refers to the length of data the chip processes. A single ARM core is still very weak compared to a single Intel core.

x86 is not getting more efficient, it's just that Intel's process lead is getting bigger.
