ARM CEO Warren East says that Moore's Law is irrelevant, efficiency is now more important than processing power:
... The analogy I would use is routers. Once upon a time, routers were effectively mini-computers in a massive box. Cisco managed to reduce that to things you have in your home. There's no reason it shouldn't go that way for servers.
Yes. This.
[Edit: The Slashdot article suggests that there's a hell of a lot of marketing speak in this guy's presentation. I'm not linking to it for notions of whether ARM or Intel is actually building more efficient processors, but because I think his vision of the re-decentralization of computing is important]

My $70 Cisco/Linksys E3000 reports 239.20 BogoMIPS with about
26MB of RAM and 32MB permanent storage. I can't remember the exact specs on my
first Linux desktop , but I'm sure it was comparable.
And given my
recent laptop experience, I have to concur. More cores are nice but greater
battery life would be even better.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
