Trolls like you should stick to words from books of gynacology.
Read the original post again troll and weep:

You are 1000% wrong troll.
The performance of PC is still stuck around 10MHz bus speed when applications such as big data hit the RAM page swapping barrier.
The ARM is stuck there as well.
Behind a network connection, there is no way to tell which type of PC is doing the processing - all have similar limits.
If ARM processor exits the window manager in Linux and its got 2GB RAM and has SSD, its performance is no different to a PC.
It boots up at the same speed as a PC for starters where these 10MHz bottlenecks can't be overcome.
But ARM delivers all this for a fraction of the power. About 10% of the power required by Intel CPUs.
Datacenters have lots of ARM servers now. You are unlikely to notice the difference.
The very latest ARMs have upped generic IO limit to around 100MHz. But the memory chips to run at those speeds are small and expensive.
The latest Cortex-M4 chips can play Doom for example.

Its as fast as the original PC versions of Doom at a fraction of the power and resources, all thanks to its faster bus speeds.
The Cortex-M7 have sound added and runs uCLinux already.
Altogther very interesting the next ARM supercomputer clocking in at around 1W-5W will be.
