I have been hearing in the news that processors that use ARM architecture are becoming very popular, especially in mobile devices, but I do not understand why it is so popular, so I was wondering if anyone here could explain the reason to me.
Why is ARM architecture so popular for mobile devices, and, more importantly, will it ever displace X86 architecture in traditional desktop computers? I Sincerely hope that it does not, as that would be a disruption of what I find to be comfortable and familiar, and I almost always am displeased when what I find to be comfortable and familiar is disrupted, plus, X86 architecture is excellent as it is, and does not need to be replaced, in my mind.
What insight can anyone else offer on this subject? I await your responses.
