ARM CEO Dismisses Intel's New Mobile Attempt

... and again, M$ is decided, with tech gonna survive... they killed 3dfx glide with DirectX... M$ can make intel CPU's irrelevant in most usage scenarios, by adopting windows 8 to ARM... and Jobs waz wright about netbooks [with $#!ty atoms] vs tablets... intel still will be the uberman in high performance market, but there is not the volume... nVidia and AMD haz collaboration with ARM with GPU assets... AMD haz initiatives with APU, that are more capable then atom's... in GPU department 4 sure...

I'm way too bias to comment. One hint, go Intel. 😉

I doubt ARM will ever take on Intel in the desktop market, but question is, how long will the desktop market be relevant. Most companies don't need highly optimized applications on their workstations, so replacing those programs with a Java / C# / HTML5 + CSS3+ script -variant, will be enough. What companies do need is power-efficiency.

ARM can just slowly move up from phones to tablets to netbooks to ultrabooks and other mobile devices that are sure to be dominant in the future, advocating portable code along the way. In 10-20 years, Intel might not be relevant to the average consumer.

I'm happy that Arm actually take a swing at Intel, Intel always work best under press which will bring better and more reasonable priced products to the market. Arm is now doing what Amd did back in the Athlon days and look where that got em in the end. I wont be surprised if history repeats itself once again.

Until an Intel mobile product shipt at retail, we don't know what to compare it to. The tech looks promising, but "show me".

I need to focu; I just read the title as:

"ARM CEO Disses Intel"

I'm happy from all this.I hope Intel keeps trying to get in and dominate mobile along with AMD and I hope ARM keeps trying to sneak in on the pc market.It's good for all of us in the end.I say let the big dogs push each other into making greater things.

Never under estimate your opponents; I remember when RIM reacted in a similar way when the iPhone was launched. And how Microsoft laughed at the iPod when it was launched. Granted ARM is an ecosystem driven by many companies, that care about only one thing - the bottom line. "Good enough" + some cash from intel, maybe good enough to sway some companies to entertain the idea.

Surely, no one expects ARM to beat Intel in PCs. There's already a market segment waiting for them called netbooks and Intel will easily outdo them today with their existing lineup and in the future with the newer 32nm and 22nm coming this year and next. Slightly longer battery life will not give them a pass because it's just not as critical as it is for mobile handhelds. And, though not as cheap as ARM, Atoms are already pretty cheap and will get cheaper still with 22nm. ARM will get a % of the netbook market, but they will remain a small player there.

This is exactly right; ARM is simply not cut out for enterprise solutions. And I can bet you that mainstream ARM chips, like we see in smartphones and tablets, will NEVER have the sort of features that people buy Xeons and Opterons for. If ARM did put those in, the TDP would go up, and they'd not be as suitable for mobile devices.

... a look from other point of view...

6. Intel Atom

Originally released in April 2008, Intel had a fantastic run with Atom in netbooks, but the future is not looking nearly as bright as the segment is declining. Most recently, Intel pulled Atom out of smart TVs. Rumor has it that Intel just did not believe in Google’s ability to deliver a compelling software package that could take the TV manufacturer base by storm. Since 2008, Intel has been working on a competitive Atom chip for a smartphone, which has not surfaced yet. The tablet trend ran over Intel like a freight train. While Intel is betting big time on the tablet market – mostly because it cannot afford to be left out, should the tablet really turn out to be more than just an Apple and Amazon opportunity – we have not seen a blockbuster Atom chip for tablets in 2011. It will be critical for Intel to deliver such a processor in 2012 to move downmarket and meet ARM vendors before they can move further upmarket via Microsoft’s Windows 8 pipeline. My take? Intel cranks out its best chips when under pressure. Although I haven’t seen the new Atoms yet, I believe there is an 80 percent chance that Intel will surprise the tablet industry with a very capable chip.

It's amazing to see that after over 20 years in and around the IT sector it's still dominated by techno-snobs. Simple facts boys and girls. Intel, AMD and ARM are all strong contenders whatever direction they go in. Not forgetting an earlier comment about AMD never competing with Intel, get some facts straight on that one, they've competed on occassion all along and their APU setup stamped on Intels effort. All three companies will be back around to dominate. ARM, for those not fresh out of school, was around pissing on all other processor manufactureres years ago, before Intel was even a known name, so again, straighten some facts and give the proper respect to all three contenders. Laugh at Apple by all means, their reign is built on bullshit, cheap PC's with an overpriced OS and phnoes with less features and higher prices. Not forgetting the biggest laughable of all...they use foxconn boards lmfao.
