The second
step is leverage the very high degree of uniformity of architecture
and features in x86 compared to the ARM tower of babel to allow
extra performance and/or capabilities to be delivered by apps so
that eventually consumers prefer to buy x86 based phones.


Intel has recently gone mad with segmentation at the instruction level which
makes it a pain for sofware developers; for instance AVX is fused off on
Celeron. This has resulted in either no support at all of AVX, or increased
validation costs. Anyway this is certainly slowing down adoption of new
instruction set features frown

Even if I can understand that from a market perspective, I'm not sure such a
fragmentation will be good for Intel in middle/long term.
