Mr Dear Pete,

Re: "What adding a dedicated GPU is not cheating? Then ARM isn't the source of the performance,
the GPU is. Is that any different than a x86 with a much more powerful GPU? The Radeon 4290 (890GX IGP)
is 32 times as powerful ... ... ..."

Jeeeessuusss ??!!

Re: "... I guess ARM/GPU will catch up to the HD4290 IGP by 10nm, Ontario by 7nm and LLano by 2.5nm.
Any of those are in the next decade 2020 or perhaps 2030 ... Just say that the others were
mistaken."

WTF ??!!??!!

Re: "... First it was claimed that ARM will eat into entry level PCs and Laptops. I disagreed and
said that all of the ARM products were not up to entry level laptop speeds. I gave an example
of one that wasn't even to the speeds of a high end laptop of more than a decade ago."

Dear Pete, ARM's business model has been to provide CPU IP cores to companies
for embedding with customized logic to create products that are highly integrated. This
provides low cost and low power for these customers ... Good examples are: smart phones, tablets,
HP printers, Pete's toaster, etc, etc, etc ... We will see in the future about entry level
PC's and laptops.

Re: "... My one example is a bad case, but that happens a lot with PC applications ..."

You are correct on this one.

Dear Pete, please take a few "deep breaths", count to ten, take your medication
and RELAX.

BTW, Who TF "rattled" Pete's cage ??!! <ggg>

Mahmoud
