Who is here 5 years later when apple might have an ARM Mac.

i7 costs an "arm" and a leg

i have arm in my pc, when i install new parts

And 8 years later, we are just about to see arm chips in windows

Apparently, ARM won't only be for portable devices starting from now

Who is here after Apple just announced transition to ARM?

I felt this was a rare miss from Linus. He was explaining ARM from a very x86 centric viewpoint. For example saying that ARM doesn't have a license to use the x86 instruction set is true, but gives the impression that they wanted it and have had to cobble together a second best in its place. Similarly he suggests that because ARM uses a simple instruction set, it can only do simple work. This isn't true at all. ARM can do anything x86 can do. Generally performance might be a bit slower, but power consumption is much lower. Desktop computers can certainly run off ARM and have done in the past.

Why didn't apple call their phone processors the Apple Core™?

I talked to a guy from ARM a few months ago, it was one of the most interesting tech conversations of my life :)

CPU battles? More like ARMS race? .. I'll see myself out.

By the way, ARM family was used as desktop processor units. Because ARM Holdings was once Acorn Computers, the coolest company ever, which developed BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes and licenced ARM architecture to my beloved DEC and not so beloved, Intel. So Apple, what were you doing in that time? Selling ten Macintoshes for year to schools and hardcore fans? Acorn was on top of the world, man.

Forgot to mention ARM is a pretty old architecture, used in a consumer device first in 1987 on the Acorn Archimedes Computer. It's only 10 years newer than x86, but older than the PPC standard Apple held onto for a good many years before going x86 themselves.

I prefer saying ARM as 'A.R.M.' with three syllables just like how I pronounce AMD as 'A.M.D.'. I don't know why, I just do.

so much has changed in just 5 years. im here after apple's event. M1 chip is insane!!

3:26 I briefly thought that was Berkel.

Motherboard chipsets As fast as possible

Editor: *Shows PS4 that doesn’t have backwards compatibility* Me: Why you triggering me boy!

Apple: *announces transfer to ARM processors* KZfaq: Hey, wanna know about them?

What's up with the stock images haha

The whole point of ARM is that it isn't 'specialized', it's a RISC based CPU.

would be cool to see something like an APU, x86CPU cores+ARM or other low instruction set arcitecture+low latency GPU on a single chip

You need to update this video guys.

ARM is actually a product of Acorn from back in the 80's when they made the Acorn RISC Machine (RISC: Reduced Instruction Set Computing) architecture

M1 has started it all

actually, Intel's 64-bit instruction set was licensed from AMD

New editor? supper annoying pics and sound effects...

ARM = Acorn Risc Machine, the first of which was used in the Acorn Archimedes, which in turn was the successor to the Acorn BBC computer.

3:32 aged like milk

Am i the only one who watches linus and doesnt have a gaming pc?

This didn't age well. Arm is big dog atm 🤣🤣

2:38 why did he show an image of the Xbox One and PS4 if they are poor examples of backwards compatibility?

This video needs to be updated for today's ARM race.

Who came here after Apple’s event and the announcement of the transition to ARM for Mac?

Did you put of stock image of a PS4 up when talking about backwards compatibility???

Who is here because Linus has a beard now

Who’s here after Apple announced ARM Mac?

1:55 That picture though...LOL

anyone else think he was going to sponsor at 2:05?

It is interesting to watch this video after 8 years and realize how much things have changed in the use of the ARM cpu architecture. When Apple company switched to their own Apple Silicon M series of processors based on the ARM architecture we now have computers that very powerful in the computational area and at the same time considerably lower in electricity consumption to run them.

Who is here 5 years later after apple announcing ARM M1 Mac?

phones use an ARM CPU?

WHo is here in 2023 and thinks this video has to be updated ? 😁

i dont know why but linus ads are the only ads i like to watch(not him specifically but everyone on his channels)

the ARM chips where designed in the United Kingdom which was part of ACORN computers which was spun off to make ARM chips, The inventor of the ARM PROCESSOR is Sophie Wilson.

"dominated by x86" Cries in AMD64

hey this got recommend to me a day after Apple announced the move to ARM

I think this explains a bit about my experience with chromebooks back in school, being closer to an android than Mac or Windows.

ARM for laptops and desktops are here. Although wasn't first they are the most significant player. Others are watching closely and will be imitating them.

You totaly confused the advantages of x86 and ARM :S... firstly ARM is the manufacture. Its really the x86+, that contain x86, ,i386 (32 bit instructions), x87 (flotingpoint), MMX (FFT instructions), SIMD 1,2,3,4.... (multiple input instructions), 3D now (transform instructions) and x64 (the 64 bit instruction set). For are its a similar situation with the cortex instruction set. Its really just the core instruction (that is basically the x86 and the i386) that is run inside inner core of the CPU. The other instructions is called from a other part of the core. With processors like piledriver, this part is shared with two inner cores. The thing is that x86 inner core is CISC so it can run all instructions inline regardless of length. So they can call the x87 part to do basically inline instructions. For Cortex based CPU the inner cor is RISC but the other external instructions may not be. So the inner core have to package the instructions, send them away, wait for a answer and keep processing. This lockes up the processor while other instructions is made. The 8 cores or so can still work independent of each other, but they can´t work independent of there FPU:s. This is one of the reasons why x86 processors is faster. The other is that it have a higher instruction per clock cycle, and this basically is a increased flexibility of the x86 core. Its true in principle that a RISC core consumes less power per instruction than a CISC core, but that its really just true for inner core instructions. On modern CPU there is so much ad on so it don´t really matter any more. You can run x86 just fine on a smart phone. But its basically the same problem as ruining a ARM on a desktop. Most programs is not made for it. When ARM first entered the smart phone market there was a diverse flurry of processors, they beat out all of the strange once, so now they are basically the only one. The program converged at the cortex instructions so now its quite hard for any other instructions to enter the market. Its still a lot easier than in the desktop market, but still quite hard. Today in high performance operation a x86 is still more power efficient than then a cortex CPU on high work loads. This was not always true, and its mostly the case from intel i series processor.

Was this the old RISC vs CISC argument?

Loved the cheeky zoom on the ps4 when he said "backwards compatibility"

except for the long advertisements at the end - it was a good comparison

The comparison was somewhat lacking. x86 is a niche product nowadays - x64 all the way. And while ARM is more power efficient, it can never come even close to the performance of x64 due to the nature of its design. Want to multiply two matrices, add another matrice to that, and then store that in memory? Well - with the extensions present in x64 you can do a 4x4 matrix multiplication in a few clock cycles while the ARM would be 4x slower at least. So depending on the work, an ARM and an x64 CPU both clocked the same, the x64 could be anywhere from just as fast to orders of magnitude faster.

Can we get leg CPU's next?

You do find ARM in your PC, usually as a small controller on a HDD or some other device.

we need a remake of this video...and can someone tell me if this will replace GPUs as well???

Please don't confuse microprocessors and CPUs. Microprocessors have built-in ROM, RAM and CPU. I also didn't really like your analogy about the instruction set because its pretty much backwards, ARM CPUs have more registers so can theoretically multitask better which also explains the better power consumption, and saying one is more 'closer to the metal' is just weird, they're both the lowest level code physically possible. I do understand how this was probably a difficult to topic to explain simply :/

The dark net as fast as possible

This video was awesome and funny. Kudos to the editor, and good job to Linus. The sped-up playback makes him sound even more cracked out in these.

ARM was in PCs such as the BBC Micro and Acorn Archimedes Series. They run on RISC. The ARM company is based in Cambridge, UK and license the architecture out. It was spun out acorn computers when it liquidated in the mid 90s.

Intel only lets AMD have the X86 because more competition is bad for business,but that means less competitive processors. Intel has the closest thing to a monopoly legally possible! Another flaw in free market economies.

If ARM can't do complex tasks as X86 then why is Apple ditching X86?

When creating XAML animations on Windows 8.1 NT It forced me to cache EVERYTHING in order for it to work. In other words, ARM CPUs are much more limited when it comes to these sort of things.

3:57 does anyone hear something in the background wtf

ARM stands for Advanced RISC Machines btw

Repackaged CISC vs RISC arguments begin.

Nostalgia hit me hard when you mentioned about SurfaceRT

Very nice video on RISC :) Hmmm... I wonder if you could explain MIPS and FLOPS.

Who's here after Apple Silicon (ARM) announcement?

"Dildo racing" ok.

Nice first generation Subaru Legacy cluster there at 0:17, for anyone wondering

I still have a Strong-Arm powered RiscPC, (with the SRAM Kinetic cache; hogging the DMA port) wow history there.

It's unlikely to replace x86 In windows pc's anytime soon.. 2019: Surface with Arm CPU's

Do one on AVR processors!

The SquareSpace ad at the end... Only Linus could pull it off. =) Cause I watched it through all the way to the end since Linus was doing his best.

8 years later and we're gearing up for ARM on Windows..

Use me as a “I’m here from WWDC 2020” button

Dildo race? What?

Why were there quotes around the term, "Instruction Set." That's what x86 is. An instruction set.

the time is now, the arm revolution has begun

can i emulate x86 on arm?

i think via also makes x86 cpu's.

With Apple moving to ARM processors, will Hackintosh building become more difficult or completely impossible?

See also: MIPS, low-RISC, RISC-V, POWER, for other instruction sets/CPUs.

X86 technology is old. All new cpus are x64 or x86-64, technology invented by amd.

This isn't even close to right.... "The term "CPU" no longer just covers multi-core, PC processors..." The "CPUs" in all sorts of devices you're talking about are called microcontrollers. They literally predate the PC so I am not sure why you're talking about redefining "CPU." As a quick comparison; ARM is faster, X86 uses less RAM, X86 has years of backwards compatibility(the reason nobody's in a hurry to switch PCs). The technical side of it is much more complicated. X86 is a CISC cpu which means that it does more than one task in a single command; this means that programs are a lot smaller(once upon a time, program commands actually used measurable amount of RAM), however the achilles heel of CISC is that not even command takes the same amount of time. This might not sound like much of a problem, but frequency is a very important factor in circuit design and CISC can vary by 4 or 5 times. Because of this, RISC, which use to be the inferior design, became the standard. ARM on the other hand(pun not intended), was designed from the ground up around RISC. While X86 is a CISC design, almost all X86 computers are actually RISC; the reason X86 gets so hot is because it has added circuits to convert X86 code into useable RISC code. So the short of it is, X86 is a ghost of the past that people can't get rid of because of backwards compatibility.

Back in the 90's a desktop with an ARM cpu knocked the socks off x86 PC's.

Would be nice to revisit this considering the new apple silicone ARM

Arm sux. $800 iPad Pro cannot run what a $300 laptop with an i3 can do easily

Watching this in 2020 after Apple released ARM chips for all macs

watching this from an m2 pro macbook is wild, also the superfun plug at the end be wild

I remember the ARM 2 chip powering the Acorn Archimedes computer back in 1987, when ARM stood for Acorn Risc Machine. Funny how an 8MHz ARM 2 could thrash a 16MHz x86 chip of the time. Ah those were the days...

Looks like Nvidia got it

My Snapdragon 808 heats up to over 80 degrees Celsius. My 4790k heats up to max 75 degrees Celsius under load.. I think my mobile CPU is defective xD

2:30 - "You could probably fry an egg on if you weren't using a heatsink" - SHOWS picture with heatsink being used.

Just 8 years later ARM Windows laptops that don’t suck are here (probably).

Who else is here after WWDC?

my phone use x86 intel atom processor

just watched WWDC2020 an Apple has an ARM Mac

ARM used to be the embedded cpu solution. As of late I see ARM cpu's that can run Windows off of a hard drive. Today there are industries that are offering hardware for engineers that work off a bootable hard drive with ARM chipset. So no longer embedded for those who want that type of hardware setup.
