When Intel are selling hundreds of millions of processors a year and ARM are selling tens of billions a year? That's pretty much the opposite way around.
(By 'selling processors' I mean 'licensing cores', of course, as ARM are fabless.)
- vegabook 11y agoThat's like comparing grains of wheat to fully baked lasagnas, buddy. What matters is what the market is prepared to pay for the tech. No arguments here. Fifty:one. It's a verifiable fact just like my ipython example. Now that does not mean that grains of wheat are not useful. As I said, I love the Pi and I own two arm platforms for which I have ambitious use cases. I just don't delude myself about who owns the performance.
