How does Ivy Bridge stack up against ARM in a tablet?

[Red Hawk]

This is something I'm curious about but doesn't seem to be getting a lot of coverage, as Clover Trail has the spotlight right now. Are there any benchmark comparisons on Ivy Bridge tablets against ARM? They certainly exist; I've checked on Newegg and Acer and Samsung both have Windows 8 tablets with Ivy Bridge CPUs. I imagine that battery life might not be so hot even with 22 nm, but performance should knock ARM out of the park. Anyone?

Pretty much what you said, performance isn't even going to be in the same league but battery life will be a lot less.

Battery life is less than a comparable ultrabook. Something like 6 hours idle give or take on my Samsung, but obviously performance isn't even worth discussion it's so different, although in most pure tablet tasks it doesn't really matter.

The advantage is having a full x86 machine that's also fast, so comparing it to ARM is pointless. Might as well compare Atom to ARM since those are the types of machines which will be doing more tablet focused tasks. Ivybridge tablets are for people who want to do more than just tablet tasks.

My thoughts On the IB in tablets is more of getting the platform ready for haswell . Haswell as being the Top of line model that won't break sales records . But Intel Atom at 22nm will put arm out as they lose designs wins to atoms recording breaking 22nm SoC sales. AT 14 nm atom is suppose to be faster than AMDs present big chip . Arm is 6 years away from anything like that.
