There a chance of ARM processors next gen?

Depends on when you and he think the next consoles will be out and the magnitude of "vastly." The Jaguar, at the very least, is pretty weak.

The Jaguar is quite high up there right now  in 2013 versus top-end mobile processors and the ones in the PS4/XBO are considerably more powerful than the one in the benchmark I posted. But it isn't unrealistic to think that by 2018 or 2019 there will be consumer based powerful ARM processors in media boxes and tablets that outperform the Jaguar by quite a bit. 

you do know that these graphs mean very little, because

"Benchmarks between different devices (and classes of devices) as well as different operating systems are to be taken with a huge grain of salt as the potential for significant errors and deviations is high (e.g. due to different display resolutions, but chiefly due to different compilers and optimizations of the cross-platform benchmarks we used), even when extreme caution is exercised."

right?

They tell us enough for the purpose of this discussion: that Jaguar is as weak as AMD gets and that top mobile processors in 2013 were competitive, regardless of the exact results. Put an i7 or a Xeon on that graph and I am sure we will see a general proportional relative difference. Plus any future console comparison will still have these same distinctions so it is perfectly applicable.
