What is the difference between ARM architecture and the typical architecture in CPUs, and why is it so revolutionary?
In: Engineering
Here is an ELI5 for you – I big truck can move a large load and takes quite a bit of fuel, a fleet of 4×4 can move the same load but only a 1/40 of the rate (to the same destination.
What makes a difference is where there are multiple different destinations or the amount varies so if you only need 2 pallets why send a big truck.
So power efficient, and faster when going to different locations
for some (most loads) there is overhead in chunking up into pallets sizes and reconstituting.
Now for the trick, the 4×4 can tow multiple trailers, making them very efficient indeed.
It’s the ability to have multiple simple cores good what they do, and the cores can be idle when not in use (standby or all running in a video call).
This contrast the x86 which is a huge truck can move (computer) anything
In this example a GPU is a moped and there are x10,000 and they move pizza about and so far better than arm and x86.
