Mobile internet device (MID) can provide full internet experience at anytime and anywhere. The definition and required functions of MID are introduced. The difference between MID and other devices is simply described. The two possible CPU platforms for MID——ARM infrastructure and X86 infrastructure, which comprised the core hardware platform of MID , are discussed explicitly. X86 infrastructure is compared with ARM infrastructure in terms of platform size, CPU processing ability, power consuming, software hardware ecosystem of MID, etc. The results of comparison show that X86 infrastructure is more suitable for MID than ARM.
