Is it actually possible to have performant x86 cores for handheld devices, or is that just the limitation of x86 with almost 50 years of legacy?
- margorczynski 4y agoWould also like to hear the answer from someone with a better grasp of the subject. I have a crude understanding of how basically a CPU works but the real-deal is probably orders of magnitude more complex and convoluted thanks to optimizations stacked on one another.
