The Four Mainstream CPU Architectures

The four mainstream cpu architectures are ARM architecture, x86 architecture, MIPS architecture and PowerPC architecture.

1, ARM architecture

ARM architecture is a 32-bit RISCCPU instruction set architecture developed by ARM. Nowadays, ARM architecture has been widely used in mobile devices, smart homes, medical devices and other fields. Common CPUs using ARM architecture now include Qualcomm's Snapdragon series, Huawei's Kirin series, Apple's A-series chips, and so on.

2. x86 Architecture

The x86 architecture was developed by Intel, and is currently the most widely used CPU architecture in personal computers and servers. Intel's Core series, Celeron series and other processors are all x86 architecture.

3, MIPS architecture

MIPS architecture, developed by the U.S. MIPSTechnologies, mainly used in network equipment, digital TV and other fields.

4, PowerPC architecture

PowerPC architecture is the cooperation between IBM and Apple, once widely used in Apple's Macintosh series of computers and IBM's servers and other fields.

cpu development

CentralProcessingUnit (CPU) as the core of the computer system computing and control, is the information processing, program operation of the final execution unit.

CPU, as the core of computer system operation and control, is the final execution unit of information processing.

The CPU emerged in the era of large-scale integrated circuits (ICs), and the iterative updating of processor architecture design and the continuous upgrading of IC processes have led to its continuous development and improvement. From the initial specialization in mathematical computation to the widespread application in general-purpose computation, from 4-bit to 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit processors, and finally to 64-bit processors, and from the incompatibility of various vendors to the emergence of different instruction-set architectural specifications, the CPU has been developing rapidly since its inception.
