intel has been struggling for quite a while and now that both AMD and others have started to compete with them in both the server and debts not marina the pressure is on for them to be more innovative only a few years ago AMD was not even really that competitive with Intel on the CPU side of things but with the release of their rise in CPUs in the last few years this has shown that a company can literally come up with new technology that can compete on the same playing field in a very short timeframe Intel on the other hand has dominated every aspect of the market for decades owning the server and laptop market and making a killing in their desktop market as well the thing is the writing is on the wall and AMD is already starting to compete with Intel in the server and desktop arena and even though at the moment until still owns a laptop market it seems that things are happening that could threaten that market as well we also see until now developing their own so-called dream team to help them ensure that they can continue their market dominance and they hope with the release of their 10 nanometers CPUs and new graphic cards they can continue to be the number one dog in the junkyard armed technology was developed by a company in the 80s called acorn in the UK and it was developed as a coprocessor to be used in the PBC microcomputers of that time what they found out however was that they made a mistake when testing the chip and forgot to hook up the power connection however the chip still ran and it was discovered that the chip runs on very little power they were very surprised to see that the chip only needed a tenth of a watt to run which was just amazing but the problem was that there was no applications to take advantage of this technology in 1984 however when the Apple Newton was released a bit later the chip made its first mark using armed technology and an arm CPU in a product and having Apple as their first client solidified their presence in the market opening the gates for their technology to bloom and letting companies know they were the go-to company for low powered CPUs in the 90s things changed quite a bit forearm technology as their cpu was used to power the most popular Nokia phones during that era establishing them firmly as a marketable product in the PC industry more always seems to be better meaning that AMD Intel and NVIDIA have always set their sights on more transistors means more power hence just like the modern CPU market of today more cores means well more power arm technology however focuses on getting the absolute most out of their technology and they work on getting the better or similar performance but using less transistors to get the job done this equates into better efficiency in the design by having less switching activity in each clock cycle which means hey less power is required as well the arm business model is also a lot different than other CPU manufacturers as they do not make or fabricate any of their own CPUs they just designed the course and then license out that technology to many different companies like Apple Qualcomm or even surprisingly enough Nvidia these companies then take their CPU core designs and add whatever technology around them for their particular need and then make their own versions of the arm CPU for their products and video uses their Tegra chip in the Nvidia shield and the intended switch also uses an ARM based CPU as do Apple's iPhone and iPads and since so many millions of these products have been sold globally that have used an arm SOC there is really a good chance that you own one right now in your house arm also designs its own architecture and the way it scores are designed and work is very different than say Intel or AMD Intel and AMD both use Syst base x86 architecture where arm uses a risk based architecture and what this means in layman's terms is that games and software that you use on your PC they do not work directly with the ARM architecture and that means that the software has to be completely recompiled into its native ARM architecture or run through an emulator to be able to run on your windows-based computer most of my audience probably scoffs at the idea of arm CPUs being in their prized gaming machines or simple office systems and they probably consider arm tech to really only be good for portable tech like phones and tablets but for your PC they're probably like Yeah right after all low power and battery use is one thing but a PC that uses an undirected power supply that means there's plenty of power to go around so who really needs an ARM based CPU in their PC anyways well you might be surprised to learn that there are three ginormous companies that want to change your mind and start implementing arm technology to the desktop market and these companies are doing everything they can to push on technology to your high performance PC Qualcomm Microsoft and Apple all want arm technology to be inside of your computer so instead of saying Intel Inside it might just say Qualcomm Microsoft or Apple inside which would be a big edge to Intel oh no now what comes with doing business with these giant companies well you get better software more powerful CPUs and more support for the application and desktop market the big question however is why on earth would Apple and Microsoft the two biggest software providers on the planet want to embrace arm technology with x86 CPUs are doing just fine and both AMD and Intel latest CPUs are nice and worked very well on the x88 platform so why is arm suddenly so appealing to them there are several reasons why but it's really all about profit when you break it all down as both Apple and other companies on the PC side of things have just had some a horrible experience with Intel CPUs and Microsoft Windows especially with laptops from the Windows Vista to Windows 8 era causing profit loss and embarrassment all the bloatware and other software garbage that previously came on your laptop or device so the manufacturers distributors cuz make a few extra bucks to help lower the price could now be eliminated and now allow companies to omit all that crap software and still make and sell a product that makes a decent profit margin but they want to achieve this goal without really sacrificing any performance these issues caused many users to make the switch to Mac products after having multiple issues including reformatting and removing unwanted spyware from their computers like Lenovo superfish who needed to find a way to make profits in any way they could you have probably heard it many times from the old and young alike that they do not care about spending a little bit more money on a system that just works and offers a much less painful user experience all around let's just face it a lot of people feel that Apple computers are just easier to use Microsoft has been fighting this problem for years now trying to get less unwanted software on their products and bringing the overall cost down to attract buyers by using arm technology the cost on manufacturing products can be decreased enough to never have to include a bunch of unwanted bloatware or spyware even on entry-level systems ever again this will allow the users to have a better user experience closer to the Apple side of things for ease and use and let's face it stability for years after being beaten by Apple and being frustrated with a stagnated PC industry Microsoft developed the surface line to grab back some of the market sher lost to Apple over the last decade Microsoft had a plan for OEMs to develop their own products around this technology but the laptops and tablets sold very well and became a huge success and now many professionals from all walks of business have begun to use surface devices as the market grows in both the laptop and tablet market Microsoft has to be competitive with Apple and orders survive and as more and more businesses use these products in their daily work they need to continue innovation and making the user experience as easy as possible this has become impossible however with working with Intel or AMD Intel's lack of innovation and Andy's inability to provide chips and high volume has forced Microsoft to change how they develop new products and with Apple being very innovative with many of their products Microsoft needs to make changes to keep up society's demand for better products Microsoft truly dropped the ball in the mobile market and this is becoming more apparent all the time and with the huge success of Apple's iPhone and iPad Microsoft got a solid wake-up call to how badly they positioned themselves in this market let's just face it they failed arm was a major factor in Apple's success and as new form factors are being introduced Microsoft's make sure they stay on the forefront of technology as to not get left behind again like they did previously in the mobile market from foldable phones that will bridge the gap between a phone and a tablet and like I said before how long before we see a phone or a tablet that can become a full-blown PC or a screen that can be stretched to be used with your phone tablet or PC the possibilities are just endless and arm technology will be the key to these new products and allow new innovation into the market Intel themselves have been trying to make their own low-power arm style CPU for years with little success leaving the door wide open for arm technologies to gain market share and be implemented into new products things like AV XD and micro ops all run better on risk-based architecture over a kiss' base one due to their ability to run better for parallel computing which is the future and Intel has been using these technologies to make their kis type architecture work more like risk-based text so that it can perform better and this is obviously the way the industry is headed adding more instructions and bloats to the x86 system was fine when we were getting amazing performance jumps every few years but that is just not happening anymore and with parallel computer working better on risk-based architecture things have to change as the code gets more and more bloated transistor switching this means there are power higher requirements as well Intel's y series of CPUs will continue to have lower cores and require less power Y arm CPUs use a simpler code that requires less transistor switching and less power so that they can develop eight or sixteen core CPUs without the need for huge amounts of power or memory bandwidth making it a very appealing technology for the future this explains why Microsoft wants to make the move to ARM based systems when it comes to innovation but they still have to consider overall hardware performance if you take a look at the very modest Snapdragon 835 CPUs running against an i5 7 Y 54 CPU in x86 simulation apps the ARM based CPUs fall significantly behind and the i-5 runs about 50% faster in multi-threaded applications and over 100 percent faster in single threaded apps but when running applications in the native arm 32-bit code the 835 actually runs faster in 32-bit and comes very close in 64-bit mode as well and let's just face it when it comes to battery life there is no contest at all with the 835 having the ability to run for 16 hours compared to the i5 ten-hour battery life which is almost double these tests were all run on identically based HP Envy x2 systems and the 835 system comes to market at $100 less making it a more attractive buy too many on a budget so you get a system that may not be as powerful in some instances but in others it works better and the battery life difference is major so it's something to definitely consider these CPUs come from an armed SOC that was a bit old and was modified from phone technology to work on a PC but now Qualcomm is releasing the Snapdragon 800 seven millimeter eight core chip designed solely for the laptop market both AMD and Intel have new lower power CPUs but how will they compare to the eight CX is yet to be seen on the Intel side of things we see the i7 860 5u with a boost clock of 4.6 gigahertz four cores eight threads and requires 15 watts of power and on the AMD side of things we see the new rise in 3700 u four cores eight threads and requires also 15 watts of power and it also contains a much powerful Vega graphics processor on the other hand however we have the new Qualcomm SDHC X coming to market with lower standard clock speeds and unknown boost clocks it contains eight cores and requires only seven watts of power so on paper the HDX looks very promising the HDX also contains an adrenal 680 GPU as well it does seem though that AMD will most likely have the most robust onboard graphics chip the current arm products that already use the Qualcomm 830 and 850 CPUs they can run many of today's hottest game titles like fortnight pug B and Grand Theft Auto 5 etc and it can run them at 1080p as well and what's really interesting is the 8c X is supposed to be at least three times faster than the previous generation ARM based CPUs and a whopping 60 percent more efficient than the 850 you can see Qualcomm is really upping their game in a short time on the PC platform the 8c X will also support Vulcan and DX 12 so on paper the specs look very competitive against both Intel and a d and if things move the way they want they will also be able to compete head-to-head with other resto seize and put a dent in their sails all of these things will be a very appealing factor to all the major players like Dell HP and others who can now make a profit and still pass on that savings as the consumer as well as advertising similar performance in native programs and with improved battery life which I feel is a really important factor to many end users Qualcomm is also working hand-in-hand with Microsoft to run their enterprise software and are working to further support arm technology and this could have a major impact on the market at large Microsoft Surface line now has some ARM based products but surface line products will eventually be all based on arm technology but for now we still see Intel and arm versions of the surface products another sector of business that will also get the attention of arm will be embedded desktop market like the small atom based machines that Intel currently sells that have been designed for simple office work you know these are those small little pieces you see in bank's offices and other areas of business and this market is a very huge cash cow for Intel and currently no one is really threatening that market but Qualcomm those boys want a piece of the action and that will take a lot of Intel's profit away another factor is many businesses work hand in hand with Microsoft and having an option to sell a system through their OMS and manufacturing partners that would not only be cheaper but possibly just as powerful that is a very appealing factor with Microsoft pushing for all windows-based products to run on arm technology that alone should be a huge red flag to Intel especially the server market once dominated by Intel alone we'll also see more competition as ARM based servers are also becoming more and more relevant and this trend will most likely have a snowball effect and continue to grow segment by segment Amazon one of the biggest companies on the globe just announced new ARM based servers and it seems that many of your well-known manufacturers will soon have ARM based products for almost every platform there are many Intel based servers currently running well everywhere but arm servers cost up to two-thirds less upfront than Xeon based servers and since they use less power the savings in the long run electric bills is even more making them very attractive to the eye of many new businesses that want to save money not only up front but in the long run as well AMD has also entered the server arena and is already giving Intel a bit of competition with their epic line but ARM based servers could be bad for both companies if you look at the cost benefits alone arm servers even in the current state are very effective cost-saving solutions and as more companies adopt ARM based tech products both AMD and Intel will now have to change their focus to compete with this old but now more relevant ARM based technology giant data servers that rely heavily on saving power will also turn their attention to servers that save them money and overhead cost and since Intel currently dominates this aspect of the market they will be the one who suffer the most by this transition and look out Intel 7 nanometre ARM chips are coming and when they become available with their higher clock speeds and better performance we will see arm technology being introduced on probably every aspect of the market since arm technology rules the mobile and phone market and now Microsoft and arm have teamed up to take on the portable market as well Intel and AMD who are both in this market competitively will now have another form of competition coming from supergiant Microsoft who had the funds to invest to make affordable and more user-friendly products available to the public this however is not the worst news to Intel as Apple has now announced they are seeking an ARM based solution for all of their Mac product lineups including our iMac as well as other Mac desktop products this would mean no longer using and buying Intel chips a serious ouch to Intel's business model the new iPad pro from Apple that runs on arm technology is surprisingly a very competitive and user-friendly device the writing is on the wall arm tech is coming of age and may soon be a huge threat to Intel's business plans but Intel is not dead yet as the x86 program still run better on intel-based chips and until more companies embrace native arm code they will still have the chance to make a comeback the terrible integration of Intel's latest chips into the new MacBook Pro showed serious integration issues being so hot that could not even run properly and that just makes a cooler more efficient CPU a clear roadmap choice for Apple arm is nailing the coffin on intel on many aspects of the industry and even Intel's 10 millimeter processors may not save them from ARM based systems but this industry it's a tricky Beast and until may yet pull a rabbit from their hat and avoid putting more nails in their own coffin the bottom line is arm CPU architecture has already started to become more robust and we know its power efficiency is better by a large margin sowhat's popularity and support will only grow as it gets better will ARM architecture actually knock Intel off their perch well it seems the future may hold some hard times for big blue and until better make some changes fast or the hurting will be on thanks for watching
