The trimslice is a (mini) workstation. > I don't know that much about ARM... The current Arm 9 processors are more like the intel atom or a chip from via; similar performance. When the A15 arrives in less than a year, that is the chip where the memory and graphics buss bandwidths are on par with Intel and AMD. The killer hardware for arm is clustering all on one mobo that is LOW POWER. Ultimately, the greatest performance will come from the processors with the lowest power consumption per MIP . ARM is the leader in that category. That's why windows 8 is ported (in testing) on ARM hardware. ARM is under most Android systems and is the dominant processor for low power and mobility communication systems.
