> Big ARM cores have much larger decode width than x86 cores Not in general they don't. Apple's does, and Qualcomm's newest Snapdragon X Elite also does. But most big ARM cores don't have larger decode widths than x86 cores. The Cortex-A78 is a 4-wide decode, same as the majority of x86 CPUs on the market. ARM's latest & greatest Cortex X2 is only a 5-wide decode, it only just finally surpassed the original Zen design (4-wide). Also Zen 5 bumps to an 8-wide decode, the same as what Apple & Qualcomm's best ARM chips can do.
