Yes bigot, Solidrun is an Israeli company.

ARM scales better for energy-efficient and/or portable applications. Putting it into an ITX form factor almost defeats the purpose. Given ARMs overall lesser support vs x86-64 you would need to have a serious vendetta against AMD/Intel and something tells me such people will never be interested in buying from an Israeli company anyways. Still pretty interesting nonetheless

This is a meme, this isn't true. We have ARM processors with lower power consumption than x86/x64 primairly because they're feature poor. If you were to put all the compatibility processes that are in x86/x64 into ARM, it would consume the same amount of power.
And yes, this is important, because for ARM to be taken seriously, it'll have to adhere to this bloat, which would make it universally usable.

(checked)
The “x86 bloat is all compatibility” shit is also a meme. The core 32-bit architecture has been stable since the early 2000s and makes up less of the overall architecture then you think. It just comes down to the difference between CISC and RISC and for the market x86-64 is targeting CISC does make more sense vs RISC
Not the architecture actually exposed to the programmer it is

You don't know what you're talking about.
ARM uses CISC for many processes, and x86/x64 uses RISC for many other as well.
ARM power efficiency is due to its shallowness. It won't and can't get widespread adoption in serious computing without being compromised.

Also,
Is the retardest of memes.

Pick one retard

Both, not even close to the bottom.

The price is too high. I don't think there is a market for this. I would rather have a dual core with the same clock speed and everything else the same for a fraction of the price, and buy multiple of them.

An ARM dual core with a decent clock speed, M2 slot, a DDR4 slot, a usb port and an ethernet port, and a RGB port. If that's available somewhere I would buy a dozen of them.

Please stop contradicting yourself. X86 can’t be RISC, having a RISC-like core =/= x86 ‘Uses RISC’ that doesn’t even make any sense
