I wouldn't say this is a universal "ARM vs Intel" claim, just a specific heuristic for this company's products. Synology's ARM line is generally underpowered compared to their Intel offerings, in terms of clock speed, memory capacity, and core count. They also tend to gate additional features (e.g. hardware-accelerated encryption) behind their Intel offerings. edit: We're mostly talking Atoms / Celerons here, so not exactly screaming performance either way.
