6 | Overwhelmingly YES! check out this bad boy that runs |

9 | ARM has chipsets coming in months that are being dubbed |
10 | "the intel killers" based on the A15. [3] |
11 | |
12 | There are notebooks with arm processors:[4] like the |
13 | ASUS Eee Pad Transformer (dual ARM Cortex-A9, touchscreen. |
14 | |
15 | The future is ARM, bro.... Super low power, clusters |
16 | being developed that control resources awake/sleep/awake |
17 | in micro seconds and full sata interfaces. Intel cannot |
18 | compete with ARM on similar power/heat comparisons. |
19 | Several large clusters are being design around new ARM |
20 | chips and memory resources on the same die. |
21 | |
22 | Better start dumping that Intel/Nvidia stock! |
23 | Arm already rules the new carrier design wins competitions |
24 | according to chips vendors (FAE's) that I talk too. |
25 | |
26 | |
27 | Unless a miracle happens, Intel is doomed to follow |
28 | IBM and MS tainted hardware efforts. MS has many secret |
29 | porting efforts to ARM arch style SOCs, trying to avoid |
30 | another implosion on is doz lack_ware..... |
