Opensource-driven hardware? Excuse me, I have to laugh. Ha ha. He he.

Now what were you saying? ah, Intel. Yeah, I'm sure ARM are scared now.

In case you don't know, almost every low-power smart device in this world runs on Linux or a variant thereof. That means ARM is supported out-of-the-box.

The only relevance of x86 low-power hardware would be to run those lame operating systems that only support (and badly at that) x86. I think that would be Windows.

Now, who would want Windows on a low-power device? Heck, who would want Windows on a high-power device?
