    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.

    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.

    It's too bad you can't spell "gynecology." Had you been using Windows,
    it would have provided you with something Linux has a lot of trouble
    with: a spellchecker.

    I'm not, but it's nice of you to think so, "President" Pig Man.

    You mean an x86 processor. Except that we're talking about the x86-64 processors people are putting into their machines now. As it is, not one
    ARM processor is able to compete with x86-64 processors when it comes to
    raw performance. ARM processors are ONLY better when it comes to
    electricity usage because they were designed to save power, not perform.
    All _reputable_ sites are on my side when it comes to making this claim
    whereas NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER supports your claim. Here's just one
    which explains this for you since you're a dumbass <http://liliputing.com/2012/02/fastest-arm-chips-are-comparable-to-intels-slowest-atom-chips.html>

    It boots up at the same speed as a PC for starters where these 10MHz bottlenecks can't be overcome.

    Of course not, that would be inconvenient for someone who lies as
    profusely as you do!

    But ARM delivers all this for a fraction of the power.
    About 10% of the power required by Intel CPUs.

    Except that Intel already has a solution to the competition from ARM in
    the form of the Intel Atom. Atom delivers superior performance with
    power consumption which is very close to what ARM delivers. In the end,
    your beloved ARM looks like a joke.

    Datacenters have lots of ARM servers now.
    You are unlikely to notice the difference.

    Of course not, that would make your lie all the more noticeable if I did!

    But the memory chips to run at those speeds are small and expensive.

    I'm sure that the impressionable Linux losers will believe you but
    people who actually know a thing or two about processors see right
    through your idiotic claims and lies. Fuck you and ask your mom for a
    higher allowance so that you can get out of her basement from time to time.
