Time for something new
I wish other CPU Arhitectures MIPS or OPENPOWER to succeed in mobile or desktop space. A MIPS workstation with 8-16 cores 64bit 2-4GHz, modern graphics card 32-64GB RAM at an affordable price (under 2000 euros). I mean standard PC architecture [UEFI, PCI-Express, USB blah blah] but having non-X86 CPU. I'm sick of X86(-64) monopoly or slowness of ARM processors. And of cours Open Specifications well documented for hardware drivers writers.

I know we're talking a different platform, but this is still an indication of the complete opposite of what's going to happen compared to your statement.
Unless, of course, you were just being sarcastic.

The irony of the people here complaining about Ubuntu being "too closed!!!!!!!!!!!!1111" and an affront to the "open" community, while sucking the proverbial Intel knob, is not lost on me. x86 is not an open architecture (like, say, SPARC was) and worse than that, it's not even open to being licensed. Think it through a little bit, guys.

[QUOTE=johnc;355745]Yeah, we've been hearing [from Intel] for years now that Haswell is going to end ARM once and for all.
Let us know how it turns out.[/QOUTE]
Let me know when arm makes Intel go the way of the dodo.
And that article isn't from Intel. It's an OEM.

That article is somewhat irrelevant. Everyone knows that OEMs are dumping Win RT because nobody wants a Win RT tablet. Or any Windows tablet for that matter.

Of course I'm still thinking Sony's console will have an advantage.
