Moderator: this is a real Hardware story. Intel is doomed. We all must learn to love the ARM hardware. Our current hardware will be in mothballs in 18 months.

No, I wasn't here. I was hiding in the Nevada desert.

Don't be afraid. If you have a large stockpile of thermal grease and cooling fans, better dump them while the price is up. Withe ARM technology low power is the future. An ARM CPU, even when it is screaming, takes one watt of power. Or less.

To understand the history and future impact of the ARM, here is a good starting point. (Of course, the Wikipedia articles have some shortcomings

ARM architecture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ARM is a 32-bit reduced instruction set computer (RISC) instruction set architecture (ISA) developed by ARM Holdings. It was known as the Advanced RISC Machine, and before that as the Acorn RISC Machine. The ARM architecture is the most widely used 32-bit ISA in terms of numbers produced.[1][2] Originally conceived by Acorn Computers for use in its personal computers, the first ARM-based products were the Acorn Archimedes range introduced in 1987.

Officially, no. It does represent a major drift between Microsoft and Intel. Time will tell if Intel can kept pushing super CPUs for consumer use. The consumers are getting jaded with computers they can not use or afford. So the buy i Phones and the i Pads. Both types of devices require low-cost low-power silicon.

Meanwhile, your next portable 'companion device' will not likely have Intel chips. Intel needs to look for another THING. And if they do, the new thing will not be compatible with what we have.

A new hardware architecture is needed for the consumer market.

OK, I can respond to that. My topic is "Windows and the World taking ARMS."
The point is the shift away from powerful silicon for common people.

And I predicted the doom of Intel. Well, I can be fair. Let's have a few words from Intel. Here is a video and a recent paper about the future. The near future. In fact, anybody who is "in touch" with the industry should go get a job at Intel. They are asking for help. Now. Really!

Here is the Intel link:
Job Openings: Tablets and Smartphones and Handhelds - Oh my!
I officially give up...anyone else is welcome to jump in here...So, quoting blog comments/posts constitutes "proof" now, does it? All it proves is some people like to stir the pot and run around proclaiming "It's the END!" Which is hardly news.
Waiting for the ARM revolution is tough, guys! We all need some spiritual assistance in times like this which are taxing on our emotional and mental health! LETS Sing with Gusto! Here we go, boys:
Kum bay ya, my LORD, kum bay ya;
Kum bay ya, my Lord, kum bay ya;
Kum bay ya, my Lord, kum bay ya,
O Lord, kum bay ya.
Someone's laughing, Lord, kum bay ya;
Someone's laughing, Lord, kum bay ya;

Hear me crying, Lord, kum bay ya;
Hear me crying, Lord, kum bay ya;

Someone's crying, Lord, kum bay ya;

Someone's praying, Lord, kum bay ya;

Oh, I need you, Lord, kum bay ya;
Oh, I need you, Lord, kum bay ya;
Oh, I need you, Lord, kum bay ya,
O Lord, kum bay ya.

Keep repeating, boys! Before you know it we will all have ARMS! Get the team morale up and put a grin on your face!

Doom? Not likely. If things do move another way, Intel will likely move that way as well.

That's pretty much the way it is now anyway.

And any good company will move in that direction.

Posting an Intel blog on job opportunities is hardly compelling proof. Looks like they're just jumping on the gadget bandwagon like a lot of other companies are.

Hardware news or not, this belongs in the news section, not the hardware section. This section is for issues people are having with hardware. Whatever issues you may have aside, this doesn't belong here.Well, if yo' gonna be like that!

Good night! AMD is delivering more performance VS price in the lower-end category of desktop processors, and I wish it would do something with the Turion X2...Almost all of the articles you refer to are talking only about tablet and mobile devices. More than one of those articles states this isn't a market that Intel currently competes in.

ARM has a ways to go before it comes out with a processor that can compete (processing-power wise) with Intel and AMD in desktop and laptop systems. While there might be a boom in mobile and tablet devices, neither laptops nor desktops will be fading soon.

I believe something similar was said about DAT, SACD, DVD Audio, video phones, SMART appliances, VR games, WebTV, Mac clones, DRM, paper-free workplaces, Windows Vista... and we've all seen how those turned out.
