Advanced Risk Machine (ARM) is a reduced instruction set computing architecture design for simplicity
And low-power applications this processor was originally designed for microcomputers, but they are found now
In 90 percent of all RISC-based processing devices such as tablets, smartphones, PDAs, hand held gaming consoles
Calculators etc. This is a excellent choice for devices such as smartphones and tablets because of it low power and
The ability to scale down the frequency of the CPU. The ARM architecture is commonly found as a 32 bit
Instruction set, known as ARMv7, this was originally designed by ARM holdings and is the most common
Architecture use for mobile devices.
Intel desktop CPU use Land Grid Array (LGR) sockets, this type socket offer better power distribution and
Less chance to damage the CPU. It use lands that protrude and touch the CPU’s contact points some example
Of Intel sockets are 775, 1155, 1156, 1366 note all CPU and socket must be compatible.
AMD desktop CPU uses the Pin Grid Array (PGA) sockets the CPU are covered with pins on majority of the
Underside these pins are place in pin hole on the socket and the CPU is lock into place by retaining arms
940, am2, am2+, am3, am3+,and Fm1 these are example if AMD sockets
There are some similarities and differences between each processor type the similarities is that they execute
Instruction or programs. The Intel and AMD processor are very much similar the only different is the speed,
Motherboard, CPU and sockets the ARM processor is much smaller these processor use in small mobile devices.
