But it couldn't be better timing for ARM. AMD isn't the competition (Though this helps them a little bit) it really is all about ARM and it is going to get a lot more attension with this. Windows runs on ARM now.
CPUs can't get much smaller. It is now how many cores and thermal control you can place on a waffer. ARM has the advantage in both of those. We just have to learn how to utilize multiple cores better than we are now.
- foobiekr 9y agoWhich ARM? Have you ever even looked at ARM implementation errata? At the errata for people doing semi-custom ARM like Cavium? Do you think that those companies are as diligent as Intel? I can’t say anything about ARM vendors, but I’m pretty familiar with MIPS and PowerPC errata from chips in the mid-2000s and they generally made Intel look 10x as professional and careful.
