What has changed so that chip makers have moved from x86 to arm?
In: Technology
There have been a steady increase in ARM chips around since about 2013. ARM chips are better then x86 chips in power consumption and production price but they have also been improving a lot in performance. The high end ARM designs are now much faster and more capable then the low end x86 designs. So all the devices that used processors like Atom and Celeron have almost all switched to ARM nowadays. And ARM based laptops and servers which first were introduced around 2013 are now competing with the likes of i5 based products. So we are seeing more and more of these as they have become more capable. But there is no big difference from year to year.
