Why is this being downvoted? I think it’s a good point. It seems like ARMs success is due in part to minimal fragmentation, which is due in turn to ARM’s licensing strategy.


Is it really the case that ARM is less fragmented than x86? Or, even if it is, x86 is wildly successful in the face of a rogue licensor spinning off an unofficial 64-bit extension to it's ISA.


how to downvote in Hacker news? There is no down vote button right?


After a certain upvote threshold on your account you get the ability to downvote


Oh ok thanks for letting me know.


Get 500 karma. I’m pretty sure that’s the level to unlock downvoting.
