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.
- nickpsecurity 10y ago"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.
- nomel 10y ago> 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.
