Question for the CPU-savvy people here:<p>Would there be any advantage in making a desktop computer that ran on the ARM architecture (instead of x86)?<p>Power consumption seems to be the obvious one; would it be possible to ramp up the performance of ARM to match modern x86 but while keeping a power-efficiency bonus?<p>Maybe with OpenCL/Grand Central/etc you could have an ARM-based desktop that used minimal power most of the time, spreading the work over many slower low-power cores, and used the GPU when heavy lifting is required..?
