Intel will continue to push downward to smaller devices, while ARM will continue to push upward with larger ones. On ARM's side, you have a new market that did not care about Intel compatibility, and settled on ARM. Most people know who Intel is and that their PC uses an Intel processor, but most could not tell you what kind of processor their ARM device uses. On the Intel side, you have dominance in the traditional computing environment as well as market mindshare. The question is who will reach the goal first. They are just at opposite ends of the field. They are both racing to hit the sweet spot that gives them market dominance, but don't be fooled into thinking that they are not racing to the same goal. In today's post CPU bubble environment, we are seeing a situation where Intel's CPU's are not low power enough to cover the entire market, and ARM's CPUs are not fast enough. Like many other bubbles, suddenly people realize that what they were chasing isn't worth it, and they would rather have what was available 10 years ago. ARM is way behind in ramping up the processing power of their CPUs as well as way behind in ramping up their CPU power usage. We are currently seeing a state where people are realizing that they are vastly over paying in energy for their CPU processing power usage. CPU speeds have increased faster than most people have any use for. The last 5-6 years of desktop speed improvements have basically been a CPU bubble. All of the little markets that Intel decided were too small to worry about.įast forward to the 2000, and desktop speeds start outpacing most user's needs. With Intel's focus on the desktop, ARM proceded to pick up Intels scraps. At the time, the desktop market demanded computing power at any energy cost, and ARM simply couldn't keep up with Intel. The difference is that ARM got crushed in the desktop market. The ARM was just as much a desktop CPU as the x86 was. In what way is trying to get people to buy an Arm computing device instead of an x86 computing device not competing? You do realize that the desk isn't why PCs use so much power right? You also realize that people will still use desks whether they have an x86 PC or not, just as they did before the x86 was invented right? ARM is absolutely working towards competing with x86.
