You’re just seeing generalized platforms with history cruft vs walled garden controlled platforms.
A program built for an intel and amd cpu 30 years ago runs today. That’s not true of M series.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoARM64 and AMD64 are contemporaneous redesigns of the underlying architecture that got rid of a lot of cruft, so being ARM does not have an advantage there. One could argue that the more relaxed memory model of ARM gives a slight advantage, but that's a mixed bag. Even without that, all modern chips translate the ISA into internal ops, and that translation take such a miniscule fraction of chip area that ISA in 2024 has minimal effect on power and performance.
