ARM honestly has little low power advantage intrinsically speaking as an isa, it's just that most low power cpus tend to be ARM and most arm cpus tend to be low

ARM honestly has little low power advantage intrinsically speaking as an isa, it's just that most low power cpus tend to be ARM and most arm cpus tend to be low power, same with x86 but for high power and performance.
- vlovich123 8y agoI have yet to see an x86 ISA that can scale down to the power requirements of ARM. So while the performance/watt might be comparable it seems like getting an x86 design to run at such a low wattage is difficult - otherwise Android x86 would have taken off more successfully.
