The trimslice is a (mini) workstation.

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.
Here are a few:
ASUS Eee transformer
Toshiba AC100
Trimslice mini workstation
Nufront ARM Powered Laptops (ubunto)
