He also counters that in a mobile world the aging x86 processor technology Intel and AMD have been riding for decades isn't as important as the stripped-down, power-efficient designs from the likes of Qualcomm, Apple, Samsung and Texas Instruments.
If one takes the ideas that heterogeneous computing is primarily about efficiency (read: low power usage), and that ARM, with its legacy in mobile phones, is known for low power usage, then a future that includes AMD parts with actual ARM processor cores running them suddenly seems likely.
