I wanted to give an example to make my post more entertaining. It's not like edited something embarrassing out Intel is making huge investments to make their processors more power efficient too. I am not talking their leadership in the high end market. I am talking about the cheap or mid range laptops manufacturers that may want to make the switch to qualcomm processors for example when they become powerful enough. Which doesn't seem that far. Intel will have new powerful competitors eventually, and that's exciting! |
One major disadvantage of ARM is that it is ARM. It is not x86 which means a lot of software is not available for ARM, leave aside Windows (well, MS tried at least with Windows RT but we know has this went...). Apple could change this in their micro ecosystem with their iOS and universal apps but the pricing from Apple is too high for the low and midrange audience.
