Re: Ubuntu Edge (the Ubuntu handset)

 

It's going to use ARM. That's not in question, I'm pretty sure. Even if it
were running Intel, none of the Intel chips for smartphones would be
powerful enough to do anything with a Steam game. ARM is far more common,
and it is well proven in the market. Intel, not as much, so I believe with
certainty that they will select an ARM chip.
