Do those ARM systems have graphics chips, or are they rendering the UI on the CPU? Modern x86 processors have integrated graphics for GUI basics, video, etc. Linux desktops can theoretically run off of just the CPU, just... not super well.
- zozbot234 6y agoEven Raspberry Pi has an integrated GPU. They feel slower because they're lower-frequency in-order chips, and while the chips themselves have multiple cores many applications don't use them properly - more specifically, they don't render the UI in a dedicated thread.
