Not even close. ARM based Chromebooks, for example, knock Atom based ones all around the park. There is nothing fast, efficient, or nice about X86. If every tablet and phone manufacturer out there could have gotten away with X86, they would have simply to retain binary compatibility and use existing toolchains.
