That sentence continues but they’re getting faster with Moore’s Law. They're worse in terms of speed.
They are described as a threat to Intel in terms of Intel's market, the desktop, ie. they may invade the desktop from beneath, which would be a classic disruption.
- jacquesm 16y agoTypical apples & oranges comparison. Arm chips have been optimized for an entirely different use case, the parameters are probably more closely related to stand-by power when idle and mips/watt. To simply use the 'speed' metric when comparing a < 1W CPU with a > 30W cpu is dumb. Arm chips will not enter the desktop market any time soon, the ARM architecture is for the moment solidly stuck in 32 bit address space and then there will be the problem of convincing a company the size of microsoft to bet on a different architecture. This will happen in due course, but not in the next 3 to 5 years.
