ARM based processors VS X86 based processors
I never thought a day would come when I would have to write this. Why then you may ask, am I doing it now. The main reason is that Intel is like a decade ahead of all other companies out there manufacturing chips. The other reason why I chose to write this article is due to the fact that we have a multitude of devices now running on ARM based processors with the RISC architecture compared to Intel’s high end processors which mainly use the CISC architecture. Lastly, rumors were flying around that Apple was considering using only ARM based processors on all their future devices, really? ARM based devices have slowly found their way into our lives. To name just a few; the A5 chips used on the I-phone 4S and the I pad, the QUALCOMM or snapdragon processor in the Samsung Galaxy series among others. A brief comparison between the ARM processors and the X86 counterparts is outlined below To get a better picture and a clear understanding of what I am talking about, it is good to give an exa...
