Inefficient ???

"x86 architecture is now exceedingly inefficient in the way it handles instructions"

So ask yourself ... If its so damned inefficient then why is it the dominant server architecture??

Why is it on a par with all but the most exotic ARM based tablet SOCs??

Why are 80 percent of Chromebooks X86 based??

Why are 85 percent of the worlds top500 supercomputers X86 based ??

Answer : because its NOT "exceedingly inefficient" by any reasonable measure.
