Strange that Intel gives people more reason to go to other processors like ARM when Intel is under such pressure from competition.

- PythonicAlpha 10y agoSuch decisions are not made in the face of pressure. I think, they are made years ago and now they are (still) executed. In the corporation centers, nobody thinks of critical users that look very carefully on things. They mostly think about the average user, that just wants more "power".
- ferbivore 10y agoWho does this give reason to move to ARM? End-users generally don't have a choice (good luck running AutoCAD on ARM) and OEMs either don't seem to care or list ME as one of the selling points of their systems. You could make the case that this might convince people to use AMD CPUs, but from what I hear AMD has all the same issues with worse performance to boot.
- Dolores12 10y agoI am pretty sure you can run VirtualBox on Linux. And you can run Linux on ARM.
- kevincox 10y agoBut VirtualBox doesn't emulate different instructions sets, so you would have to run ARM windows inside of it and an ARM build of AutoCAD (which I don't believe exists). Also I'm not sure that VirtualBox supports ARM at all.
- therealjumbo 10y ago>AMD has all the same issues with worse performance to boot. AMD chips aren't just slower to boot, they're slower overall!
