Well, he is presuming that the increased performance of a typical desktop makes the performance difference smaller. Considering that Atom performs pretty well even on my five year old desktop, that seems like a reasonable assumption. Although I think this is discounting the fact that the performance difference between desktop and mobile platforms is shrinking every year.
I agree with you with regards to multithreading, though. It seems like that is actually important on both the desktop and mobile for compute intensive tasks.
- oceanswave 10y agoThe red herring in the original comment is that Electron apps can't be multithreaded. They absolutely can be - through web workers, child processes and more. They can also fall back to calling native components for CPU intensive tasks. Just because Electron is used in a technology stack doesn't automatically mean that the developers are going to be lazy. Lazy devs be lazy, bro.
