> can they compete in speed and power?

Almost certainly not. For you that might be a deal breaker, but for a lot of users, this isn't.

Especially since Microsoft is now "serious enough" about Windows on ARM, this is more about competing on price for low end machines. Think about all the devices sold that have an i3 or less. I'd bet that this processor is very competitive in terms of speed and power, so how much does it cost the OEM?
