Qualcomm chiefly dominated the market in manufacturing the processors for mobile devices and has not faced much of a competition until now. A leaked benchmark test suggests that there will be drastic change of things in the market....and it's going to be nasty for Qualcomm processors which are based on ARM architecture.
A top level executive of Intel claims that the battle between ARM and Intel is over, because the upcoming chips based on the "Silvermont" architecture offers a greater performance and battery life when compared with ARM's Cortex A15 (flagship product of Qualcomm).
“Cortex-A15 is not even close to Silvermont. They are higher power and much behind us on performance which means they are on the wrong scale,” Perlmutter said.
According to AnTuTu, an Android benchmarking tool, Intel's "Silvermont" series scored more than 43,000, while Qualcomm's "quad-core" series scores between 25,000-30,000. Based on this Intel claims that their "dual-core" processor can out-perform any "quad-core" processor in the market.
These "Silvermont" processors are Dual-core X86 processors based on 22nm transistors. These 22nm transistors deliver 3x performance than the previous processors. The 22nm transistors are also used in the "Ivy Bridge" series processors for PC.
