ARMs are used in the vast majority of cellphones and tablets, including iPhone and iPad. These have somewhat less computing power than Intel's chips, but they also have less electrical power needs, making them more suitable for handheld and other small battery-powered systems. But there are also some netbooks using ARM processors, making them competiitive with Intel's Atom line.

Intel's greatest competitor in this market is the the ARM I think.

So many chipmakers have left Intel in the dust. Apple’s hand held products (and smart handhelds from others) were clear and loud signals to Intel. Shareholders assumed that Intel was too smart a company to let research slide , that surely Intel would be making major announcements.... we waited and heard nothing . A long time ( 3 years is an eternity in this area) has passed . We are relieved that something is happening albeit very late . Like others here we hope it is not TOO late . Intel’s news that it will introduce this new chip next year is welcome. All fingers and toes are crosses, in the hope that Intel has a winner that has a very god chance to leapfrog other chip makes.

I bought a top of the line computer as it was time to upgrade after 7 years of using my old computer.... In four weeks my new computer was no longer current..... New more powerful motherboard with better features came out, more powerful CPU etc. etc. You will NEVER be able to keep up with the latest consumer technology offerings..... Buy what you need when you need it is the best you can do.... I hear you…. I bought a top of the line computer as it was time to upgrade after 7 years of using my old computer….

How twentieth century! LOL! I personally can't believe how large the leaps and bounds of new tech are. I agree with you. It's almost impossibly hard to follow it all and I suspect that soon it will be impossible.. What you haven’t got the new slide ruler! How twentieth century! LOL!

You think it's time to upgrade, and then you see all these marvellous innovations on the horizon! The thought of a company annually releasing new versions of a product would have been inconceivable 10-15 years ago, and yet now, with the current rate of change, such things hardly raise an eyebrow. If you have both a love of technology and a miserly nature (like me) you are constantly torn. Is it finally time to put my abacas on eBay and join the 21st century, or hang on for just one more year?
