Re: LINUX BEAT THEM BY YEARS
The problem was that ARM systems were not built with modularity in mind. Because they were made for power-sipping, fixed hardware maps on SoCs were the systems in vogue there. But beyond embedded and portable applications, you need modularity because configurations can change. An SSD may crap out and need switching. Same with a DIMM. Or perhaps GPU tech moves up and you want to upgrade. For the REAL PC world, you need to be able to mix and match, and to do that, you need a more general hardware design: something like an enumerated bus, which SBSA is a key step to providing.
