| 13 | The current Arm 9 processors are more like the intel atom |
| 14 | or a chip from via; similar performance. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | When the A15 arrives in less than a year, that is the |
| 17 | chip where the memory and graphics buss bandwidths |
| 18 | are on par with Intel and AMD. |
| 19 | |
| 20 | |
| 21 | The killer hardware for arm is clustering all on one |
| 22 | mobo that is LOW POWER. Ultimately, the greatest performance |
| 23 | will come from the processors with the lowest power consumption |
| 24 | per MIP . ARM is the leader in that category. That's |
| 25 | why windows 8 is ported (in testing) on ARM hardware. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | ARM is under most Android systems and is the dominant processor |
| 28 | for low power and mobility communication systems. |

| 31 | ASUS Eee transformer |
| 32 | Toshiba AC100 |
| 33 | Trimslice mini workstation |
| 34 | Nufront ARM Powered Laptops (ubunto) |
