Now post arm emulation on x86

So ARM is slower but has lower power consumption... right? @bentech

Also wait didn't ARM exist way, way before x86?

ok don't think of it as purely arm vs x86

it all depends chip to chip

just no one has ever done a high power arm core

Yeah but

x86 was developed when ARM already existed

and from what you said it sounds like x86 is harder to make

no

why isthat?

x86 outdates arm

are you sure?

first x86 cpu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_8086

1978

of course instruictons for that wouldnt work today on modern cpus but you get the point

they would

that's most people's gripe with x86

it completely bloated

with all the old instructions

most are completely pointless or slow as tits

but they are there

yte pretty much

but why are x86 harder to make then?

licensing

because you have to be amd or intel

So the only reason x86 exists is legacy stuff?

oh

intel invented it

amd got to use it because they made x86-64

and intel decided to trade them for it basically

So wait is ARM used in servers?

there's been attempts at it

but none truly sucessful

I was always under the impression x86 is more complicated

except in specalist roles

e.g

routing

there's also https://riscv.org/ which is gaining steam

So... x86 can generally work on broader tasks, while ARM is more specialised?

do I understand that correctly?
