Broadly agree that for the highest end CPUs other things matter as much and probably more. This article though it has lots of valid points sprinkled with inconsistencies and things that just plain miss the point. One example: not every core is OoO. There have been an awful lot of A53s shipped in the last ten years. Having a power efficient 64 bit in order core has probably mattered a lot for Arm in key markets (eg as part of big.LITTLE). So does the ISA matter in this case? He's silent on this despite having several thousand words to say on the topic.
