ARM broke WIntel.
- Qwertious 2y agoSmartphones broke Wintel, their ISA didn't need to be ARM as long as it was power-efficient.
- notpushkin 2y agoYeah, but how exaxtly is that relevant here?
- oblio 2y agoAnd who cares? Functionally there is Apple ARM with its extensions and Qualcomm ARM with its extensions. If anything, the x86 world was more open and more compatible. We have enterprise distros running on both Intel and AMD, supported by their hardware makers. Who in their right mind runs 3rd party Linux distributions on smartphones in production environments (i.e. the CEO's smartphone)?
