Introduction to ARM processors ARM stands for ADVANCED RISC MACHINES . The ARM processors based on RISC instruction set. RISC stands for REDUCED INSTRUCTION SET COMPUTING . By seeing the full form of RISC you probably get the idea of that the ARM processors has less and simple instruction set than the processors of x86 architecture. Introduction to x86 The x86 processors based on CISC instruction set. CISC stand for COMPLEX INSTRUCTION SET COMPUTING . This type of processors has complex instruction sets means more instruction than the ARM processors The first difference point is Applications - 1. ARM processors - Usually ARM processors are used in portable, small and that devices which has unreliable source of power like batteries. E.g some laptops, smartphones...
