    While partially true, the biggest problem is software compatibility. Most software is compiled and optimized for X86 and it won’t run on ARM unless recompiled.

    How are we going to get everyone to jump ship? Apple had their magic emulation sauce but windows doesn’t seem to have that and especially not for Risc5

      Much of what people do on computers these days is through a web browser. An even bigger market is servers, which often run Linux and can port things into ARM with less hassle.

      People put far too much weight on games.
