Overwhelmingly YES! check out this bad boy that runs gentoo: [1] [2] ARM has chipsets coming in months that are being dubbed "the intel killers" based on the A15.

Super low power, clusters being developed that control resources awake/sleep/awake in micro seconds and full sata interfaces. Intel cannot compete with ARM on similar power/heat comparisons. Several large clusters are being design around new ARM chips and memory resources on the same die. Better start dumping that Intel/Nvidia stock! Arm already rules the new carrier design wins competitions according to chips vendors (FAE's) that I talk too. Unless a miracle happens, Intel is doomed to follow IBM and MS tainted hardware efforts. MS has many secret porting efforts to ARM arch style SOCs, trying to avoid another implosion on is doz lack_ware..... hth, James [1] http://pandaboard.org/ [2] http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/?part=4&chap=9 [3] http://www.anandtech.com/show/4153/ti-reveals-omap-5-the-first-arm-cortex-a15-soc [4] http://www.anandtech.com/show/4445/samsung-galaxy-tab-101-review
