Nearly all PCs with Intel x86 chips are vulnerable to a new hack.
Intel changing their processors to combat it.
Meanwhile the billion or so PCs out there are vulnerable if running
windopws infected OSen full of root kits, malware and trojanicking
fever.
Well... you got Linux and if Linux install is secure then so is
your PC against this hack.
And since Linux source code is out there for anyone
to download and modify it to break it, and because no one can
because its just too good with everyone watching and repairing
ALL KNOWN BUGs, you are safe converting
all company PCs and government PCs to run Linux.
Tada! :)

More reasons the "transgender" ARM will take over! And look at the
Linux support:

Windoze for ARM? Nya ....
You're apparently unaware of this but the world has already moved away
from x86 to x86-64 and actually _like_ the performance they get out of
it. ARM, with its shit performance, can't compete in any way.
You are 1000% wrong troll.
The performance of PC is still stuck around 10MHz bus speed when
applications such as big data hit the RAM page swapping barrier.

Trolls like you should stick to words from books of gynacology.
Read the original post again troll and weep:

The ARM is stuck there as well.
Behind a network connection, there is no way to tell which type
of PC is doing the processing - all have similar limits.
If ARM processor exits the window manager in Linux and its got 2GB RAM
and has SSD, its performance is no different to a PC.
It boots up at the same speed as a PC for starters where these 10MHz bottlenecks can't be overcome.
But ARM delivers all this for a fraction of the power.
About 10% of the power required by Intel CPUs.
Datacenters have lots of ARM servers now.
You are unlikely to notice the difference.
The very latest ARMs have upped generic IO limit to around 100MHz.
But the memory chips to run at those speeds are small and expensive.
The latest Cortex-M4 chips can play Doom for example. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRNcfsDIc2A
Its as fast as the original PC versions of Doom at a fraction
of the power and resources, all thanks to its faster bus speeds.
The Cortex-M7 have sound added and runs uCLinux already.
Altogther very interesting the next ARM supercomputer
clocking in at around 1W-5W will be.
