ARM SBC's will always lag Intel in the single most important factor - software.
Unless some large corporation(s) get serious about spending on money on first class Linux implementations - and there's no sign of that.
The best ARM software is the community developed ARMbian, but that's not enough to tempt me to buy anything except Raspberry Pi.
Raspberry Pi's greatest strength is its first class software.
The weird thing is that none of the ARM device vendors seem to realise that "it's all about the software".
