Anything serious on arm runs the risk of throttling. Upping performance will see more consumption and power usage. The even bigger problem is ARMs closed nature with no support for the open off the shelf culture that has made the PC industry what it is today. ARM is about closed SOCs, closed drivers and closed vendors and this in effect closes up the drivers and software ecosystem. Something like Linux and the open source movement would not have happened with this hardware model, and it a paradox of our times that it is Linux developed because of the open culture of x86 that is used to support this closed model. There is something ironic even parasitic about this. There are large forces of centralization and control currently in play and getting excited about a closed ecosystem becoming mainstream seems shortsighted for the tech ecosystem and consumers who have benefited from widespread choice, competition and the open source movement in x86.
