X 86 VSArm

The document compares the Arm and x86 architectures. It discusses that Arm was designed for low-power devices using RISC while x86 was designed for high-powered desktops. It then outlines how Apple adopted Arm for their mobile devices, leading to massive growth for Arm in smartphones. More recently, Apple introduced their own Arm-based silicon for Macs, demonstrating that Arm can now compete with x86 even in desktops and laptops.

Cpu


Brain of the computer

Billions of all the calculation

Instruction set
-Mobile
-Desktop

Instruction set execution in mobile vs desktop

eg(dog - bone)

History of intel x86


1965 x86 initiate

Dominante for next 20 years

X86 designed for high power, high efficient

Demand for high efficient processor also incresed

Cannot be used in portable devices

3 / 14
History of Arm


Akcon computers 1983 choose different path

Simplest approch

RISC (Reduced instruction set computing)

ARM (Acorn Risc Machine)

Spliting complex task to simpler task sets

Performing complex only absolutely necessary

4 / 14
ARM result


Very low power, Zero watt

Made available for build manufacture with Arm license

Low power , unexplored technology not suitable for
desktop machines

Arm was used in portable devices mobile

Prefers ARM for portable, since it consumes very low . Low
power leads to more space

5 / 14
ARM efficiency – PowerPc


Apple used ARM in their Ipods

200 billion ARM devices were sold

PowerPc (Apple, IBM, motorola) created desktop processor
with Arm technology

PowerPc couldnt compete with Intel

ARM was not suitable for desktop machine

6 / 14
Apple / Intel tieup


Apple moved from power Pc to intel arch

2005, Apple mobile chip deal was rejected by intel

Intel CEO refused apple mobile chip deal

Need tons of money on R&D , they didnot belive in Apple’s
mobiles

7 / 14
Raise of Iphones


2007, iphone-5 released A5 architecture with ARM

Iphones sells dramatically

Intel loses 30% of iphone selling profit

Apple moved on without intel

Apple build their own Chip with ARM Licenced

8 / 14
Growth


2012 fully customized ,A6 processor was released

Iphone 5s released with A7 arch first 64bit mobile
architecture

A7 could compete desktop class architecture

Beyond expection selling

9 / 14
Mobile arch in desktop


Intel alway released their chip after deadline

Apple couldnt keepup their release with intel processor

Tons of money in for R&D

Iphones selling fullfils, R&D

Apple mobile chip A11 very high performanch

A12 bionic released in 2018 could finally compete intels I9
- I9 125 watt
- A14 5 watt 10 / 14
M1 chip


ARM technology was highly tunedup

M1 chip was introduced as first custom cpu in 2019

Used in Macbook air, mac mini, imac

Advantage
- Can run iPod & iphones apps

- Battery , space
- Efficientcy
11 / 14
- Less expensive
Future


Apple claims M1 chip is the current fastest chip in the
world

Performance analysis beating all the intels

Ryzen AMD zens is still faster

Apple’s power performance is still better

Apple moved on to future with same arch in ipad, iphone,
Laptop, desktop.

Lets see how it affects intel

M1 parent child


Healty competition

M1 – has no cooling system
- No cooling, 8 core, 8 core gpu ,16gb memory

M1 – pro has cooling system
- 10core, 16 core gpu, 32 gb mem

M1-max has cooling fans
-10 core cpu, 32gb gpu, 64 GB mem
more core -> more heat needs cooling system 13 / 14
Thank you
