  • ARM is an instruction set similar to x86 however it is more power efficient, for a number of reasons.

    It doesn’t help the confusion that ARM is a company and produces CPUs and GPUs but you can find the ARM instruction set in use on a wide range of SoC and other hardware.

    It is popular for use cases where power efficiency is important.

    For example Apple uses the ARM instruction set for their M serious which are a SoC containing CPU, GPU and memory.

    SoC = System on a Chip.
