What will ARMv8 do with "good enough" performance that AMD's Bobcat with 64-bit "good enough" performance couldn't do?

Are you for real? Haven't you heard Android is going 64bit OS? Or iOS will run 64bit next year?


Either you weren't paying attention to the context of the conversation, or you have high hopes for Android and iOS as being better for running PC content than Windows.

and that means ARM v8 will likely outship Intel core chips five to one over the next five years, at a fifth of the price.


Yeah, in phones, genius. The point I was responding to was the idea that ARMv8 would make inroads into the PC space. Intel will outship ARM in PCs by probably 100 to 1. Windows RT wasn't doing too well, last time I checked.

that's what "good enough" performance can do.


"Good enough" is kind of subjective. What's good enough for my phone isn't necessarily "good enough" for my PC. Or do you debate that point?
