I’m completely a novice at understanding this, but is ARM battery efficient because of how its executables are compiled or is it battery efficient because of ARM chip architecture? I guess my question is if you run a comparability layer like this will the ARM chips still be as efficient running x86 programs and games?
ARM is generally notorious for being power efficient but not necessarily. Won’t mean shit if your software isn’t properly optimized.
Linux on ARM is generally much more efficient than x86, yes. But also often much less powerful. Apple seems to be the only one who has cracked this code thus far to unlock high power and also incredible efficiency.
