In the computer processor industry ARM and Intel are big competitors. ARM is based on RISC and Intel processors are based on CISC. As mentioned last post, ARM architecture is mainly used in smartphones and portable devices.
ARM based chips concentrate on high performance while Intel processors aim for low power devices. The processors that provide good ratio of both, will be a winner.
From last week's study, I understood that semiconductor companies buy licence from ARM and develop their own software on chip (SoC). So it's a big completion for Intel. Still many believe that x86 architecture is so mature that it will survive through the competition. My next study will be microarchitecture that makes difference in ARM and Intel processors.
