I thought the observation was always that instruction set was not such a big difference in high performance CPUs next to manufacturing technology which was by far the first order effect. It would be expected for a high performance ARM CPU to reach roughly the same performance in that case (AMD is 1 generation behind here, I think Intel is 2).
Is there really "chipheads" who are predicting ARM ISA to buck this trend and start pulling ahead at equivalent technology nodes? By what mechanism do they believe this will happen, do you know?
