Ouch. If it's having trouble keeping pace with the E6-2670v1 that's not good. That's an 8-core chip from 2012. You can get them on eBay for $75.

  Remember Intel is market leader making full-custom CPU's with more money thrown at each one than these small companies have. They also optimize the heck out of single-core performance which most RISC multicores don't. I think it's one of those things where you have to choose best bang for buck supporting an oligopoly or sacrifice some performance/cash to encourage new product development. Market says it overwhelmingly favors the former.

    Even in multi-threaded benchmarks, where it should shine, it's getting murdered. ARM is a very promising platform and there's no technical reason why it can't out-perform Intel. It's just a matter of engineering it with that intent. Right now it's primarily intended to be efficient and good enough for mobile phones.

      "Right now it's primarily intended to be efficient and good enough for mobile phones." Exactly. That's why RISC-V variants focused on raw performance still have a differentiator.

      > there's no technical reason why it can't out-perform Intel I think "engineering capabilities and experience" is a valid technical reason. But the real "reason" is most likely branch prediction and caching. I wouldn't be surprised if Intel's NetBurst microarchitecture was more complex than the entire CPU section of an ARM processor. I'm having trouble finding transistor count for the CPU section, for ARM.
