RE: Intel slams ARM for 'slow' iPhone CPU

Software Architect 1982 22nd Oct 2008

You're *SURE*? We need some specs to make any kind of determination like that. I'm not saying you're wrong, but just pulling that opinion out of thin air isn't helpful.

I was wondering the same thing, but I can't say for sure that "equivelent" Intel CPUs will use more power. Who knows? Maybe the use less power AND are faster? But I'm not going to say one way or the other without some documented specs.

I have been extremely disapointed in the lack of advancements in these devices. I got my first one in early 2002. It was 400Mhz. I just upgraded to the latest and greatest, and it too is 400Mhz... SIX YEARS LATER!!! I'm inclined to, at the very least, side with Intel. ARM has not made any noticable (or measurable) improvements in over half a decade. In the meantime, Intel desktop based CPUs continue to generally follow Moore's law.
