First, it needs to show that they can run at least as good, if not better
than the Arm chips already in use.
However, because of the multicore set - up, it's been estimated that it could operate effectively up to 2.4 x faster
than the ARM chip.
Either way, that may be a tradeoff you're willing to deal with (as I am) since Intel processors typically have much better performance
than ARM chips.
Not exact matches

Channel 4 News spoke to Chloe who had been paid seven thousand pounds a month by a sugar daddy in the past who was keen to emphasise that «a relationship doesn't always have to be sexual» — while the sugar daddy at her

than their Intel counterparts.
The Tegra 2

ARM - based processor with Nvidia graphics and is touted to be a generation ahead of the silicon that the A8
chip of the iPad is based on since the all new
ARM Cortex A9 architecture is able to deliver 25 percent more power
than Cortex A8 core of the iPad.
It's a dual - core setup based on
ARM Cortex - A9
chips that will run at a maximum speed or 1.8 GHz — that's around 20 per cent faster
than the OMAP 4460 found inside the 7 - inch UK - bound version of the Kindle Fire HD.
It's not exactly a high - end tablet, but the RK3188 is one of the fastest
ARM Cortex - A9

than the Google Nexus 7 (albeit with a lower resolution display), you could probably do worse
than the Archos 80b.
Most tablets use microprocessors developed by Intel's rival
ARM Holdings because its
chips are considered more power efficient
than Intel's.
Of course, Sandy Bridge processors are much more powerful
than the
ARM - based
chips favored by most Android tablet makers, and since Android is designed to run on those low power
chips, it makes sense that an Android tablet would appear faster
than a Windows machine, at least in terms of the amount of time it takes to boot, suspend, launch programs, and perform many other tasks.
An x86
chip can be more power efficient
than an
ARM processor, or vice versa, but it'll be the result of other factors — not whether it's x86 or
ARM.
If you are comparing typical
ARM core on TSMC vs typical x86 core on Intel, Intel is less dense
than individual transistor sizes would suggest (but the comparison is completely misleading —
ARM would get significantly less dense if they tried hitting the same
chip complexity and frequency)
On the bright side, the Huawei Kirin 960 SoC also makes use of
ARM's cutting - edge Mali - G71 MP8 graphics

The Asus move doesn't come as a huge surprise, when Windows RT devices confusingly don't offer all the same features as Windows 8, didn't manage to hit significantly lower price points until they were put on deep discount, and particularly when Intel's Atom
chips manage to run full Windows 8 as well or better
than the
ARM alternative.
So, until we see new breakthroughs in battery technology, display energy efficiency, or as
ARM's Ian Drew puts it, «
