How is Apple able to create ARM based chips in the Mac that outperform many x86 intel processors?
I remember when I first learned about the difference between the x86 and arm instruction set and maybe it’s a little more nuanced than this but I thought x 86 offered more performance but sipped more power while ARM dint consume as much power but powered smaller devices like phones tablets watches etc. Looking at Apple’s M5 family, it outperforms intel’s x86 panther lake chips. How is Apple able to create these chips with lower power that outperform x86 with a more simple instruction set?
