I always thought ARM was preferrable for low TDP

in reality it doesn't really mastte

Well I mean

you can't run windows on ARM

yes you can

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/arm/

But if windows were to be slow or the laptops were to heat up more easily on x86... it'd make sense to use ARM

idk

windows on arm is pretty slow tbh

mostly as a lot of the appls are emulated

it is, but you can do it

Is there like some guide for when ARM is the better solution?

depends on implementation

it's pretty much as all of the low poered chips are ARM

do you want to run existing applications -> dont use arm

as only intel/amd can make x86 chips

acutally i guess via/zhaoxin

but eh

and they're all focused on servers atm

isnt kryonaut conductive though

```
no electrical conductivity!!!```

🤔

maybe im thinking of liquid metal (tm)

@bentech I thought so yeah but now we have 6w intel Am I correct in the assumption that ARM is better for low powered chips then? @Goz3rr Yeah but it cannot possibly be that simple or intel and arm tablets wouldn't be competing at the same price level

again biggest issue is implementation

reason arm is better for low powered is most of the implementations so far have been for low powered applications

while x86 implementations are largely focused on servers/sometimes laptops

you have seen some very low powered x86 stuff though

thanks gearbest

e.g the asus x86 zen phone

So x86 is generally better though less developed in low power applications than ARM, do I get that right? @bentech

it's not generally better

it's just different

Well... ARM was ditched in consumer usage for a reason until smartphones surfaced, or not? @bentech

used in some stuff

see DS

err

etc

ARM is in more consumer shit than you think

yteah

basically every piece of electronics will have an ARM based microprocessor
