Now I thought that some years ago, everyone wrote off the Arm architecture as being outdated

For the last few years, the CPU has not been the slowest denominator in the system as indicated in your article. Hard drive speed, GPU, and software optimization are the bottlenecks.

I would venture to say that software optimization being the worst as there is quite a bit of untapped horsepower within the hardware architecture.
