ARM architecture
Türkçe: ARM mimarisi
The RISC-based processor instruction-set architecture, licensed to manufacturers, that is widespread in phones thanks to low power consumption.
// EXPLANATION
ARM does not make chips itself; it licenses designs and the instruction set. Apple, Qualcomm and Samsung build their own SoCs under that licence. It offers higher performance per watt than x86, so it is spreading into laptops and servers as well.
