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

it's used in lots of microcontrollers now isn't it?

My bad, I should have said personal computing

*Routers*

Switches

@Cole bought the chinkbook <:pepestressed:327933525124841482>

Smart household devices

in personal computing the only other arch with limited success was powerpc (IBM)

@Sdeck37 nice sunny avatar

All that experimental shit had arm long before smartphones

actually late dumb phones prob had arm

``` It was the first GSM phone to use an ARM processor.[1]```

1997

Allright, personal computing then. wasn't point of the discussion @bentech
