The comparison with Intel's highest performance chip is irrelevant. Yes, Intel will always maintain a lead in raw performance. But the point is as ARM chip increase in performance to become good enough for laptops, they will still be cheaper and more efficient than Intel chips at that same level - so it makes buying ARM almost a nobrainer. ARM will keep pushing Intel up-market and away from lower-end devices, until there's little market share left in the mobile/laptop market for Intel. Intel won't die. These things take many years or even decades. You could argue that the PC didn't "kill" the mainframe for 30 years since the PC first appeared, but what happened is that mainframes became increasingly less relevant, and PC architectures increasingly more relevant and popular in more than one market.
