This change doesn’t mean only a boost in performance. Intel processors use complex instruction set computing (CISC) while ARM uses reduced instruction set computing (RISC) which leads to ARM processors to execute instructions in one cycle and Intel processors to need several cycles.
ARM has been used by Apple and Android manufacturers in their phone devices whereas Intel has been used mainly in computers.
Intel(x86) to ARM transitionĪpple has replaced Intel x86 for the ARM-based processor chips in their new Macbooks released in late 2020. Disclaimer: This post has been written in early 2021, so all this maybe has changed at the time you are reading this.
