Question: One of the points in the article is that in order to compare a desktop x86 chip to an ARM chip, you have to take clock speed into account. I assume both architectures are optimized for certain speeds at a low level (like literally the electricity flowing through the transistors), so you can't just overclock the hell out of an ARM (with cooling, etc.) to reach desktop speeds, nor vice versa to make a low-powered x86 chip.

Is this correct? Is the final output of the silicon from each architecture fundamentally different?
