If you were alive during the 90s or 2000s, you surely remember that tune. It’s the anthem of Intel, the world’s most dominant chip maker, or at least, they were. Since then, Intel has had a pretty rough fall from glory. In fact, today, Intel barely ranks in the top 10 when it comes to the world’s largest chip makers. They come in behind Nvidia, TSMC, Broadcom, Samsung, ASML, AMD, Qualcomm, Applied Materials, and Texas Instruments.And when you contextualize this with Nvidia’s performance, things
The reason for a lack of “not so good” x86 smartphone chips isn’t some desire to sell “all the ARM shit”. Device manufacturers have to pay to license the ARM instruction set, if there was a viable alternative they would be using it.
The issue is power consumption. Look at the battery life difference between the Intel and Apple Silicon ARM MacBooks. Look at the battery life difference between an x86 and ARM Windows laptop. x86 chips run too hot and need too much power to be viable in a smartphone.
What purpose would an x86 smartphone serve anyway? Also bro you gotta chill on the ellipses.
Jesus christ bro you need to fucking relax before your heart pops. If you care about openness then call for phone/tablet/laptop manufacturers to shift to RISC-V.
Nothing lasts forever, and x86 and x86_64 have lasted for eons. We will move away from x86, probably in your lifetime (unless you give yourself a coronary event which is honestly pretty likely all things considered), so you should probably come to terms with it.
I honestly can’t tell if your unhinged response is a joke or legit. If you had just tossed in ellipses liberally, in place of every single other punctuation, I would have known you were joking. With the Trumpian/boomer FB caps rant, I’m thinking maybe you’re actually serious?
Lol … If they don’t manage to make a decent one … they’re done.
That being said I would love an "not so good " x86 smartphone with usb video out and desktop mode.
But clearly that ain’t going to happen… all the ARM shit must be sold .

Bro … if you think people need to chill… you just need to eat some shit!
Arm and all it fucking VENDORS CAN EAT SHIT AND DIE . They do make less power-hungry chips … but completely shit when it comes to OPENNESS !
FUCK ARM … FUCK YOU … And fuck all the ARM PUSHERS !

Just EAT some shit off the arm pushers dick !
Don’t worry imbecile… the vendors will make the other architectures JUST AS CLOSED AS ARM IS !
Because imbeciles like you will buy them !
Wow you’re really doubling down on the ranting and raving huh?
Duuuh … you thought you would change my mind by repeating dumb imbecile shit ?
I was hoping you would engage like a rational adult, and not like a wailing infant.
You were hoping to engage in a rational conversation by telling me to chill ?.. fuck off FILTH ! GO AND EAT SOME SHIT with your ARM SHILLS !
