Everyone's switching to ARM, even Microsoft and Apple.

They still live on in the desktop/laptop computer industry. And the legendary Pentium G4560 will only serve to make them stronger.

Intel has better transistors and therefore better cpus. You know it's true.
>>58860989
No. Arm is years ahead.
Yeahhh good luck. Intel still dominates high end laptops and desktops (even if they're a dying breed) and they still cover turf that a smartphone can't. Professional video/photo editing, programming, and business class computers are probably sticking around for a while.
>>58861049

>>58861117
>desktops are a dying breed
Never
>>58861117
Arm can run traditional Wintel applications now so Intel is dead.
>>58861117
Intel even still dominates fucking Chromebooks.
ARM chromebooks get like half the octane scores of intel devices which cost only $50 more
They're smoothing things out for the Surface phone, which will probably be able to run both Win32 and ARM-based software.
And, at the same time, putting pressure on Intel to drop prices.
Who said Microsoft is stupid. They can only win from this deal.
>>58860321
Microsoft showing off Windows programs running on a SD 835 is actually more about enterprise than consumer application. A Qualcomm powered phone or tablet could run some X86 Windows programs, but if that were really a huge appeal then intel wouldn't have lost billions on contra revenue selling chips no one really wanted.
What they're effectively showing is that Qualcomm's server CPUs have some legs.
Microsoft hedging bets and getting a foot in the door for an emerging ARM desktop market isn't unlikely either. In a few years all the rPi like devices will be much more powerful, more fully featured, and if Microsoft has their way you'll be running Windows on a lot of them.
>>58860989
Intel will be stagnating on their 10nm node for the next 3 to 4 years. They're falling behind. The trouble they had with their 14nm process lost them all the advantage they had, and they're having similar yield issues again at 10nm.
Though none of this has anything to do with the thread.
>>58861049
ARM doesn't fab anything themselves.
>>58861424
Since 7nm will likely be the last generation of the transistor as we know it, I'm not surprised they're having trouble with it.
>>58861511
Nah, the race to miniaturisation will continue:
1nm transistors have already been created in the lab
http://science.sciencemag.org/content/354/6308/99
>>58861539
>Simulations show an effective channel length of ~3.9 nm in the Off state and ~1 nm in the On state.
This is astoundingly significant. The effective control over the channel in this device is almost 4X its actual length. Leakage current is so low for all intents and purposes it doesn't exist. If a chip were fabbed with these characteristics you could power it with the waste heat from your body.
>>58861539
I'll believe it when it reaches production, tbqh
>>58861629
Every mass production process starts out as theory, white paper, and lab proof of concept.
The original FinFET was thought up decades ago as an SOI device, long before high performance thin SOI devices were ever produced in any form.
>>58861539
Creating singular transistors in a lab is one thing. Mass producing hundreds of billions if not trillions of them per-wafer and expecting enough of them to work to provide useable chips is another thing entirely.
>>58861290
Can confirm. Just bought an intel chromebook 3 yesterday. Its snappy for such a low powered deviced.
>windows-on-arm
>>58861681
Optimising the basics to feel snappy doesn't mean it's actually powerful.
>>58861657
Forgive me for having extreme doubt that that we be able to be made profitable
>>58860321
right now, ARM is a pussy platform for mobile faggots who spend their time browsing social media. ARM could potentially compete with x86 if performance oriented desktop chips were design. That's not happening so demand for performance computing will just be degraded with cloud based apps and bad console ports until phone tier chips are all anyone needs to run all apps.
So how long until personal computing is completely fucked?

What do you all do with your computer that you can't do on something ARM based? Just games? I'm not really having any problems continuing to use an old AMD Phenom 9550 (4 core 2.2 GHz) from 2008 and considering processors have gone through 5 die shrinks from 65 nm to 10 nm since then (just as many as between the Pentium Pro/Pentium II and my processor), I'm having a hard time believing that one of today's higher end ARM SoCs couldn't match or possibly exceed my processor if given decent cooling.
>mfw I see current generation Apple fanboys gushing at the prospect of Apple A series processors in their MacBook Pros
>When they're all such newfags they don't even know how shitty the PPC era was compared to Intel and how much of a performance boost Intel gave.

Fucking hypocrite.

This is the best comparison I could find

Tegra K1(Cortex A15 variant) compared to the Jaguar based Athlon 5350.
Then the 5350 vs the Phenom 9500.
I think Cortex A57 cores are pretty close to Jaguar in over all performance per clock, A72 are significantly faster. Jaguar is pretty close to the performance of a larger K8 core, sometimes faster, sometimes slightly slower.
A newer smartphone has more power in the CPU than your desktop.

Intel is already switching from silicone to a molybdenium disulfide -based wafer for their future CPUs.
Do you think this is a coincidence?
>>58862333
Its silicon* and there is no proof of them using MoS2 as a substrate base for their 7nm node.

Thus far, there isn't a single Steam game available for computers running on the ARM instruction set, and in fact, the Steam application itself only runs on x86 and x86_64.

They are newfags, they only got into the platform after the iPhone became a hit.
I suffered through PPC, it was shit.
>>58862483
125 million active users of Steam is reason enough to reconsider any sort of transition away from x86.
>>58862435

>The most likely replacement for silicon is a III-V semiconductor such as indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs), though Intel hasn't provided any specific details yet.
Though, this is for the 7nm one, for now.
The lab transistor was 1nm tech.
>>58862497
Yes they are. But shove a chicken tendie up your arse anyway.
>>58862547
gibe tendies pls mummy,

Stop trying to talk out of your ass.
That 1nm carbon nanotube has literally nothing to do with intel.
Nobody uses Intel anymore
>>58862435
not true, you can make steam run on arm based linux.
Not only that, but the SteamLink is based on an ARM chip.

This is fucking chrome we're talking about here. It's barely optimized for anything.
