    Can x86 ever match ARM's performance per watt?

    Posted: 24 Oct 2021 06:18 AM PDT

    Hello,

    so what kind of optimizations (if possible) should x86 undergo to match ARM's performance per watt?

    Is Intel's Alder Lake on laptops going to deliver us more battery autonomy due their heterogenous design with efficient and power cores? What about AMD and their plans?

    What kind of redundancies should x86 get rid off to be like ARM? Is it AVX512 (missing in Alder Lake)? Lowering TDP? Or just abandoning x86 all together and focusing on newer ISA like RISC-V or ARM?

    Thank you!

    Is Intel pulling out the crowbar after all? Alder Lake is now allowed up to 241 watts in PL1 ex factory, but for what? | igor´sLAB

    Are heading towards a ARM architecture for all computers?

    Posted: 25 Oct 2021 01:17 AM PDT

    As the Apple chips on their laptops show better performance (using ARM architecture) compared to similar specked laptops but with a x86 architecture, will there be a shift in the coming years?

    ARM and X86-64 coprocessing

    Posted: 24 Oct 2021 11:12 AM PDT

    Hello, I'm new around here so pardon me if I missed a post talking about this. I've been wondering how come we don't see arm-based coprocessors that are on motherboards?

    Could you have a system on a chip coprocessor soldered/socketed onto the motherboard? This ARM chip if setup correctly would take care of any task meant for ARM. We have seen windows support the Linux Kernal with WSL and WSL2. I could see this allowing something like WSA (Windows Subsystem For Arm) to allow ARM development natively. How come this type of thing hasn't been developed or become mainstream?

    The pipeline I was thinking of was similar to having a Rasberry Pi and the CPU on one Motherboard. The main CPU could be instructed to use this subsystem/coprocessor to do the computations or and then get the results back.

    The benefit I would see in this is that your computer would be able to leverage any ARM program while having the full support of x86-64 and AMD64 programs. This is just a thought experiment and trying to figure out what technical hurdles would exist for something like this. I think something like this is possible because Hard Drives have started implementing Arm Cortex series processors into Hard Drives them.

    Edit Log and More info: I have read the comments and it was pointed out to me that some old systems used to need an x86 processor on a card to run programs. I reworded the post hopefully cleaning things up. Fixed some spelling and grammar errors. I originally posted on my phone with speech-to-text while walking so it made little sense.
