  • While we’re here, why would anyone buy a windows-on-arm device? Windows RT should have taught them this lesson that nobody fucking wants windows outside of the begrudging desktop

    I think you’re taking the wrong message from this. I don’t think the author intended you to read the article and think that EA is targeting low compute ARM netbooks, I think the author intended you to come away thinking that major AAA devs are actively preparing for a landscape in which x86 is no longer the dominate desktop processor architecture/instruction set.

    Regardless of how you feel about the company, Macs running Apple processors using the ARM instruction set are proof positive that ARM based cpus can replace x86 in compute scenarios higher than netbooks.

    Unless you’re specifically referring to the Windows bit of it, in which case I agree.
