« Back to Glossary Index
ARM, short for Advanced RISC Machines, is a family of processor architectures based on RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) principles. ARM processors are designed for low power consumption and high efficiency, making them ideal for mobile devices, embedded systems, IoT hardware, and increasingly, laptops and servers. Unlike traditional x86 processors, ARM chips use simpler instructions, enabling faster execution with less energy. ARM Holdings licenses its designs to companies like Apple, Qualcomm, and Samsung, who customize the architecture for use in products like smartphones, tablets, and wearables.
