PCs are dead, but Intel will be fine. Bay Trail will be the beginning of the end for ARM as Intel brings its massive lead in fab technology to bear on the mobile market.
baytrail has the vast expense of cutting edge foundries and the entire expensive might of intel r&d behind it, and it just got beaten by a cpu produced with far less engineering and r&d expense on a last generation foundry.
Lets wait for a fuller set of independent benchmarks. There is a lot of speculation on RWT and my conclusion is that nobody really knows what's causing the difference. Also note that a lot of these benchmarks use JS, which puts the quality of the JS engine into the equation.
That is very true. Also, bay trail still won a lot of benchmarks on said page.
I cannot shake the feeling through, that while bay trail is competitive and will be very interesting for many purposes (looking forward to getting a small home server based around the new atoms) - it needs to truly trounce arm to initiate an industry change.
You heard it here first.
