#132986 RE: This Causes an Error #132972

An interesting analysis albeit from an obviously biased source. I know you looked at native game engine ratios before so the question I have is how relevant are the apps and games for which translation is still required ? ISA translation has always been inefficient so no news there. Of course if Intel is first with a 64-bit android platform then going forward this legacy app/game translation factor becomes less and less important.

The slide that interested me was the SoC power one. Firstly is it accurate ? If it is then what is causing it, inefficient gpu and accelerators compared to Snapdragon ? If it's gpu then Merrifield/Moorefield and hopefully Cherry Trail will address that. Like I always thought and said Mobile is going to be a long hard generational slog for Intel like Servers were and these are just the first initial encounters. The important thing is that Intel continues to deliver better performance/price every year and out-price the weakly funded ARM licensees and eventually it will be one of the last left standing.
