[QUOTE=M0zza;611532]The ARM processors maybe a little slower, but they are more energy efficient, cheaper (I think), and here now.QUOTE]
ARM is king in handheld devices today, and it will compete with Intel head-on in high-end handheld, smartbooks and netbooks.
ARM is much cheaper. You can get an ARM11 (up to 600MHz) for less than 10 USD, whereas Atom or Pine trail solutions (CPU + North/South bridges) will cost no less than 50 USD.
Intel cannot compete in terms of power consumption, and it has got years of work to do; ARM cannot compete in terms of computing power, and it has got years of work to do, too. But both are gearing up, and soon they will fight on the same turf.
