The performance was great, but the report makes it clear that it's very Apples to Oranges.
> The AMD and VIA systems are inappropriate for power comparisons because they are based on desktop hardware.
- sliverstorm 16y agoI know, but it's still very cool to see a company that isn't even the third most prominent company doing so well. Especially when they make embedded and non-x86 chips, too. When I say 'third', I'm attempting to make an awkward reference how I see politics. There are Democrats and Republicans (AMD and Intel), and that's where most of the struggle happens. Then you have the Green Party, hanging out as a third wheel (who I'd equate to PPC), and then you have the Libertarians. I would equate VIA to the Libertarians. I don't know how they are doing as compared to the Green Party, but said Party sure got a lot more press when I was growing up.
