...Any modern ARM CPU like Apple 9x is already a lot faster than Xenon's CPU, even though it needs a lot more power and runs without a fan... No wonder modern x86 CPU may emulate it with proper JIT.
First, ARM is just reaching the speeds PPCs were at a decade ago.
Second, the Xenon is a fast but relatively simple in-order processor.
Its just another attempt to compare unrelated cpus.
Whoever pointed out that the gpu was the most important part of this equation hit the nail on the head.
All of these cpus are adequate.
