If architecture doesn't matter, why on earth would you think x86 is a negative. The most ARM can ever hope for is that people don't care or notice it's ARM.

- cbsmith 5y agoAs much as ARM is associated with efficiency, the instruction set itself is largely irrelevant to the performance of modern CPUs. x86s CPUs are translating x86 instructions into the CPU's native instruction set, and while that used to impose some non-trivial overhead, it's been trivial for quite some time.
