Just wondering - x86/x64 processor for Pyra's future?


Interesting, they are not even expensive. Intel Atom, OK. Didn't knew that the Atom can be used in such small devices. But I guess even a modern Atom SoC uses more power than an ARM based SoC? Any direct comparings like TDP etc.?
I'm not sure why people insist that x86 means a guaranteed higher power consumption or worse perf/W in SoCs like this. Atom has been competitive in this area for years. Probably more than competitive with an early rev Cortex-A15 implemented in a now much older process like OMAP5 is.

Quite true, although the A17 is supposed to have the power of the A15, but better power consumption. But I agree with what Exophase states, power is less of a concern these days, however from what I seen of my ASUS Transformer T200Ta before I sold it the bay trail performance wasn't that fantastic.
