Is there anybody here who stills hates x86 because PowerPC was better?
If so did you have no problem buying an ARM device?
If you take into account the latest IBM PowerPC it is only marginally better than an x86 Xeon.
It is also getting a little confusing nowadays with all the SIMD and the reprogrammable graphics units.
The CPU could be very different in 5 years from what it is now.
