Remembering WinTel of past decade to compete with Apple? WinArm will be
the next decade in order to compete with Apple. Sorry for Intel fans. You are left behind but you can still form a IntelMac sh-t to compete again if Apple is willing to make MacOS for you to play.
ARM will be Intel's first IFS whale.
For those that have been living in a cave inside Ronler Acres…
Windows runs on ARM and has since circa 2011 or so. X86 apps will get dynamically translated at runtime to ARM. There is a small 10% overhead for that. This is similar technology to Apple’s Rosetta which translates x86 Mac apps to ARM.
Many developers also compile to ARM natively and more will in the future as the volume of ARM devices increase.
@1klh+1pfIFQA9 That's quite funny, I agree.
Intel also bought a small startup in 2016 with a promising technology based on ARM as well. And ki-led it a few years later as expected.
Can they resurrect it? Obviously no.
So the Nvidia and the Qualcomn chip will be able to run windows?
Can I buy a Mac and put arm windows on top?
A small Seattle company you may have heard of called MICROSOFT.
They’re up and coming I hear.
Wake up Intel luddites…
@1tep+1pfIFQA9: "Which companies are willing to write software for this HW starting by the OS?"
Do you live under a rock? WIndows on ARM.
Which companies are willing to write software for this HW starting by the OS?
“Me too” says NVidia https://finance.yahoo.com/m/3c3f5808-da39-3b6a-8a6b-0c9ccb2d71b9/nvidia-extends-gains-amid.html
Now will Qualcomm compete with Intel or NVidia?
Scrappy CPU startups with teams 1/50 the size of Intel’s teams can totally own Intel.
For those that don’t know, this Qualcomm chip came out of Nuvia. A small startup that Qualcomm bought.
There’s no competitive advantage at Intel any longer. Apple, AMD, Qualcomm and now Nvidia are using ARM to obsolete x86 and drive the next wave of innovation.
Intel is a dinosaur.
Feels like we are being pummelled from every angle now.
Will those chips be compatible with X86? Otherwise will they stick around?
