    Arm stands for Acorn Risc Machine originally as it was their own in house design and manufacture. Know this as grew up in the UK as all schools had them in abundance. It was the education computer of choice here.

    I think that the main reason is that the battery technology is still very limiting and we want smaller devices with longer battery life, that makes the arm based chipset the technology to go to

      have to dissagree depends on the usecase i would not want a x86 chipset for my phone cause itl def run out of juice fast but my pc at home is a amd 5900 cpu one of the insane powerhungry cpus for power paired with a amd 6800 gpu also power hungry but there isnt arm product that comes close plus i can emulate arm with ease but arm cannot emulate x86 easy maybe in a far far future arm could emulate x86. maybe in a FAR FAR FAR FAR future arm could emulate x86 while being as powerfull but if this doesnt happen its a no shot. there is no way all the older games and programs that arent being updated for arm will get lost people just wont switch over if it cant do that. so you want a powerhouse go x86 you want something light and it runs on a small battery go arm. imo the guy who payed 5k for a arm macbook is out of his mind. ill never get apple users im a heavy specs guy i build pc myself. even if you cant i would higly advice getting to know a bit of cpu and gpus a 1 day dive and youll have a good grasp over apple is screwing ya over.

      I'm not from the UK, but to me it was sad to watch the UK let Softbank or ANY other tech company BUY the SERIOUS crown jewel of Tech from the UK!
      ARM, long ago was a KNOWN power in the future of computing!
      I know the owners had a right to sell, but ARM should have come under the same importance of national security in the UK!
      We are ALL seeing the IMPACT of ARM NOW and WILL see it --- far into the future!
      The UK should have found a way to buy ARM and keep it, the economic impact is so big, it really could have helped the UK!
      Some things are TOO important to sell, just for money and ARM NOW has FAR reaching implications on the whole world of computing,
      and the UK will not make a penny!
      I live in Silicon valley, all of us who work in tech were shocked to watch SOFTBANK even get a chance to buy ARM, we in the VALLEY, know what importance
      ARM was and will be!
      I hope the UK as a govt. will not let another important part of their tech be just sold, someone NEEDS to educate the politician( just like here in the U.S)
      Have a good day!

      @@Jake_5693 Have you been watching over time, the complete sadness of what SOFTBANK did with ARM since the bought it?
      They did NOTHING, absolutely nothing; Softbank is nothing but a massive pile of money, a finance company that has ZERO knowledge of how to use and grow ARM as a technology!
      So, they buy ARM, they know ONE THING; the tech of ARM is so important into the future; Then-- Softbank LOSES BILLIONS on a huge scam named "WE WORK". But Softbank KNOWS they have a chance to make up this loss--- they put ARM on the market to sell! NVDA tried to buy ARM, too many problem with the EU blocking the buy-didn't happen!
      Softbank recently put ARM BACK ON THE STOCK market( USA) and made sure to have SO MANY SHARES - that are ONLY OWNED By SOFTBANK INSIDERS AND the market makers its disgusting--- what is called a "lock up period" is about to end and those insiders WILL CASH OUT and make back their WE WORK LOSSES and make multi millions more!
      ALL of this could have been avoided and ARM could have done so much for the UK ECONOMY -- if the govt. would have not let this sale happen! The USA has stopped other countries big finance from BUYING important USA TECH companies--so I KNOW the UK could have done the same!
      I am waiting to purchase ARM stock-- the timing of hopefully the insiders selling and the price come down would make it a real bargain!
      Its a GREAT technology and in the RIGHT hands it will lead ----AI -development as AI takes more power and that needs to be handled correctly-- thus---ARM!

  • @JB52520
    @JB52520 3 роки тому +12

    I've heard that RISC isn't really defined by having fewer instructions, even though that was the biggest distinction early on. By removing memory accesses from most of the instructions and having a fixed width, they become reduced in complexity. Nothing rules out having a lot of them. RISC is more of a Set of Codes for Reduced Instructions.
    x86 translates to RISC micro ops, but because the instructions have a highly variable width and many memory accessing modes, they require a complex decoder. ARM can get more done with less silicon, since there's less complexity between what the software wants to do and how the CPU decides to do it.

    Gosh David this makes me feel old. I studied computer science in 1976-8, and it was all about CISC VS RISC. There were at least 10 instruction sets we studied, and they lay on a spectrum from very high CISC (average of 50 to 100 clock cycles per instruction) to very low like 2. I believe ARM is not very low, something like 4. The IBM 360 mainframe I used as a student had microcode loaded on an 8 inch floppy disk. It had custom instructions like “calculate tax on pay”. When the tax rates changed you just modified the CPU microcode, put in a new floppy and off you go!

    ARM doesn't have less instructions, it just concentrates on the most used ones. I..e ARM implements C's *s++ = *q++ with a single instruction, and also allows loading C structures or passing arguments to a function with a single instruction. It has opcode for branchless if (...) {...}. The Thumb-2 version is in fact closer to x86, with variable instruction sizes.

Then the "slabs in our hand" will have become the "blob behind our left ear" - getting away from colours, look & feel, to focus on "where can we go today". I'm looking forward to "first things first - Coffee, Check" in those times 🙂 Have a good Easter break David, and thanks for all you do to look this this slick.

      x64 is just an alias for x86-64. This is an extension of x86 that is sometimes referred to as x86-64 which is just the 64 bit version of the x86 which was originally 32 bit. However when you see files on a Windows system under an x86 folder, that IS because it is specifying that they are the 32 bit application files.
      But other than that when you hear anything today regarding processor architectures like x86 vs ARM, it is most definitely referring to the 64 bit versions of those architectures

    True story: the very first prototype ARM1, when the team at Acorn booted it up it's power draw while executing read Zero Watts.
    _Zero_
    And i don't mean a rounding error.
    They had forgotten to connect power to the CPU.
    But it was running.
    Turns out ARM was so efficient that it was able to power itself by scavenging current leaking from the cpu pin static protection diodes.
