- toyg 10y agoTo be fair, it was a different world (almost 20 years ago... I feel old). It doesn't matter anyway -- after several years concentrating their immense muscle on battery savings and integrated graphics, they have caught up a lot. CoreM / Skylake can fit most use-cases where ARM stuff would be called for, at least in the high-margin market.
