And also the best mid-core ARM has to offer. What a dead ass useless company. Maybe maybe maybe the A510 they announced year ago[1] can span half the gap, but given what a fantastically unimpressive useless thud of an impact A55 made versus A53, given the half decade cycles it takes to deliver woefully meager improvememts, I could not have less faith in ARM. We should be shipping more advanced Intel Lakeview+ in phones, Galileo++++ in sbc, x86 everywhere.
Yet still RISC-V has so far to go to even start to compete. This stuff is not easy. But wow, after a decade of thinking arm may some day turn the corner & start delivering (amd "seattle" a1100 anyone?), I see so little hope for this plodding lumbering archticture. It has been designed/refined to sell flagship phones (now well over $1000) and fuck all the rest.
Rockchip seems to be the only company even making a consumer-available arm core of any note at all, and the only systems we're seeing on the radar are nearly $200 A76's. With like 1/20th the connectivity/io bandwidth we get from a cheaper celeron system.
x86 keeps getting better. Arm archticture & cores are just defined by a bunch of miserly vultures keeping the cellphone market in thrall, the incremental of incrememtalist gains. Moore's law is getting more complex but is fine. ARM just is nads, worthless.

- smoldesu 5y agoI'm inclined to agree. x86 seems to have the most performance still "left on the table" so-to-speak, at least of the major architectures. My fingers are crossed that the next 5 years of RISC-V development come swiftly so we can finally kick ARM back down to the microcontroller market that it performed best in. I seriously doubt ARM will be able to compete when x86 chips are at the same transistor density, we might need an even bigger scam performance metric than "performance-per-watt"... "performance-per-watt-per-area" perhaps?
