ARM vs Atom: Intel's Newest Challenge. The ARM architecture offers several advantages when compared to Atom. ARM has smaller die sizes than the Atom processors which gives ARM a cost advantage. Having been designed for use in space sensitive environments, the ARM core is smaller than the Atom equivalent. This is the case even though Atom is being manufactured on a more advanced process than most of the current ARM designs. With all these disadvantages, one wonders what Atom can bring to the table. The la...

Can Intel Catch ARM? Shrinking to 22nm will give Intel their cost/size advantage back and will improve their power efficiency. If ARM were to do nothing between now and 2014 I expect that Intel's shrink to 14nm would give them unquestioned leadership in all three key metrics, cost, power, and performance. Intel's critics are quick to point out that ARM will not. Be sitting still for the next 2 years and rightly so. Let's look at what ARM's roadmap shows between now and 2014. Most analysts believe that In...

Strong Demand for Intel's Atom. Citigroup analyst Glen Yeung reiterates his Buy rating and $29 price target on Intel (INTC), citing channel checks that revealed strong demand for INTC's Atom processor:.
