For deep security, use ARM, avoid Intel & AMD processors

Yeah - it's difficult to convert entirely over to ARM, but I've done it. The most powerful computer I have is 8 x 2G ARM cores on an Odroid XU4. That runs about like a celeron netbook for some tasks, but is pretty decent for other tasks, depending upon how well the software in question can use the little/big processors. Unfortunately, only Linux and Android have been ported to the XU4 so far. For NetBSD I have to use the Odroid C1, but it's much less powerful.
So, for security there's gain, but there's a perfoprmance loss, and I'm OK with it. I just have to be a little more patient.
