It's more scalable, up and down, and more specializable. At least theoretically. Great examples are the Fujitsu A64FX cores which went all in on SIMD performance, or Broadcomm's 8-way SMT cores which were perfect for low IPC stuff like databases. Cloud servers could have massive arrays of small core CPUs, and some big cores already have a modular (but untapped) amounts of L3 for gaming. It’s also easy to learn. I learned ARM Thumb in school! x86 would have been an utter pig. permalink fedilink source parent
