Arm versus x86 is a battle for the ages. And 2025 was meant to be the year that Arm chips finally made inroads into the PC ...

Apple’s possible move from Intel x86 chips to ARM processors for its MacBooks is feasible, but not practical over the next few years because of technical and performance issues, analysts said this ...

ARM and Intel have been on a collision course for years, but the iPad Pro is the most significant volley yet into Intel's traditional markets. Can Apple's new A9X match the performance of Intel's ...

The Android operating system is built to run on three different types of processor architecture: Arm, Intel x86, and MIPS. The former is today’s ubiquitous architecture after Intel abandoned its ...

Over the last few decades, Intel's x86 architecture has ruled the world of computing, powering everything from the most basic laptop to the most powerful data center machines. However, a quiet ...

A new paper from the University of Wisconsin tackles the question of whether ARM or x86 is more power efficient with updated processors and results from China's Loongson processor. Does ISA still ...

Discussions about CPUs often frame one instruction set architecture (ISA) against another—x86 vs. Arm, Arm vs. RISC-V, and so on. However, it’s common to use multiple CPU architectures in a single ...

Microsoft has introduced a new x86-64 emulator called PRISM with the latest Windows 11 update, aimed at improving the performance of Intel and AMD code on ARM-based Windows laptops. Designed to boost ...

China’s Loongson Technology has designed two 64-bit, quad-core Mips processors that can also execute code based on the x86 (Intel-compatible) and ARM architectures. That’s a unique twist in the ...

For office use the standard is x86 technology, but what about for industrial applications? If you take into consideration factors of performance, power and temperature range, could other architectures ...

Over at the Macintoshian Achaia section of the forum, there is quite some talk about the (assumed) impending move from Intel CPUs to Apple's own ARM CPUs to power the Mac. A lot of people assume that ...
