With Apple pushing hard towards an ARM only future for personal computing, some out there are wondering about who is going to show the more muscles between ARM and Wintel. They are simply wrong headed. The reason ARM is getting more attention these days is because Wintel is just an old and deeply flawed system that should be put to death. Wintel is just Intel CPUs and Microsoft Windows. Intel CPUs are inherently flawed, we now know that some of speed improvements that came with it were at the expense of doing things properly and computers using Intel CPUs simply expose themselves to infinite vulnerabilities. Windows ? Where do I begin with ? Old, clunky, patched almost daily with red alerts all over the place. Really anyone in IT actually recommending to use Windows? Would you qualify this person as sane ?
So this is not a win for ARM for its magnificence etc. it's really just a lose for that deeply flawed Wintel trash.
Thanks to security researchers for exposing it btw.
