Often when you read various comments below articles on the internet about Intel and their role in the phone/tablet market which often compares it to ARM-architecture (so usually Qualcomm), it strikes me as odd just how intense the hate is for Intel among many people who comment (usually accompanied by lack of knowledge). Is it just me that find this interesting?
Considering how tablets and smartphones are becoming more and more advanced and some people are even choosing to use them as a full replacement for a desktop/laptop, making the demand that the tablet/smartphone can be used at least almost as efficient and free as a desktop/laptop there is little doubt that the Intel's expertise at making complex instruction processors (x86) will become more and more suitable even for the tablet/smartphone market in the upcoming years.
So the market segment for the ARM-architecture is obviously on the decline in the upcoming years, but will obviously not die out any time soon and most of the biggest manufacturers of smartphone/tablets are used to using ARM and some companies will continue to do so for a far longer time than what actually makes sense (and some people are likely to keep just wanting a nice fancy phone with a lot of gadgets which will suit ARM-architecture just fine).
But why are there so many that are in denial of this general almost inevitable development and keep insisting on things that maybe was true 5-10 years ago are still true to day and keeps regurgitate the same out-of-date myths, that may had been true back when the smartphones weren't really smart at all, as to why Intel can never be able to compete against the likes of Qualcomm in the mobile/tablet segment?
What do you guys think about this? Why all this hate?
(and please do not make this into a AMD vs Intel thread, there are plenty of those already...
