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?
List of architectures supported by linux.

List of architectures supported by windos, ugh...1.


Linux is already the most important operating system in use today, you just do not realise it yet.
