Permanent is such a permanent word.
I think Microsoft will shift more to an ARM focus.
I think we'll see Intel start offering mass-market chips with ARM instructions in them. IIRC, they are already an ARM licensee.
- 1-6 6y agoI think we'll pretty soon see computers with higher RAM requirements because of reduced instructions. It's exciting though as Intel hasn't been able to cross new barriers with CISC. RISC/ARM, RISC-V will one day help us to get massive core counts.
- byko3y 6y agoThat's a misleading information, because ARM binaries are actually smaller than similar x86 binaries. Here's a tcpdump example: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/254418/difference-between-size-of-binaries-x86-64-vs-arm https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/254418/difference-b...
