ARM is now getting bigger and larger. Currently they are sitting pretty going into 2012 with huge market share in smartphones and tablets. According to a notebook maker, ARM will continue to rise because Intel and AMD just can't compete with ARM in terms of pricing.
Intel already had the 32nm-based Medfield processors with an 11W power consumption, matching with Android 4.0 in January 2012. It will launch Atom processors with power consumption of less than 10W for smartphone / tablet uses in the second half of 2012. Also, Intel will keep upgrading manufacturing processes with Atom processors to be progressively based on 32nm Saltwell,, 22nm Silvermont and 14nm Airmont.
At Computex in June, AMD is releasing Hondo, an APU with power consumption of less than 5W for tablet PC's usage. Competitive chips looks to come in to the market. They aren't in the right price bracket to compete with ARM in 2013.
