Arm stands for Acorn Risc Machine originally as it was their own in house design and manufacture. Know this as grew up in the UK as all schools had them in abundance. It was the education computer of choice here.

[@breathtakingblue]

Shout out if you're from Cambridge UK! 👍ARM is just down the road... And I remember those Acorn computers... and Tandy computers back in the 80s.

[@yakkyuu12]

I'm not from the UK, but to me it was sad to watch the UK let Softbank or ANY other tech company BUY the SERIOUS crown jewel of Tech from the UK! ARM, long ago was a KNOWN power in the future of computing! I know the owners had a right to sell, but ARM should have come under the same importance of national security in the UK! We are ALL seeing the IMPACT of ARM NOW and WILL see it --- far into the future! The UK should have found a way to buy ARM and keep it, the economic impact is so big, it really could have helped the UK! Some things are TOO important to sell, just for money and ARM NOW has FAR reaching implications on the whole world of computing, and the UK will not make a penny! I live in Silicon valley, all of us who work in tech were shocked to watch SOFTBANK even get a chance to buy ARM, we in the VALLEY, know what importance ARM was and will be! I hope the UK as a govt. will not let another important part of their tech be just sold, someone NEEDS to educate the politician( just like here in the U.S) Have a good day!

[@Jake_5693]

@@yakkyuu12Welcome to the UK. Where great things are invented, great companies are founded only for them to be sold to foreign companies/states.

[@yakkyuu12]

@@Jake_5693 Have you been watching over time, the complete sadness of what SOFTBANK did with ARM since the bought it? They did NOTHING, absolutely nothing; Softbank is nothing but a massive pile of money, a finance company that has ZERO knowledge of how to use and grow ARM as a technology! So, they buy ARM, they know ONE THING; the tech of ARM is so important into the future; Then-- Softbank LOSES BILLIONS on a huge scam named "WE WORK". But Softbank KNOWS they have a chance to make up this loss--- they put ARM on the market to sell! NVDA tried to buy ARM, too many problem with the EU blocking the buy-didn't happen! Softbank recently put ARM BACK ON THE STOCK market( USA) and made sure to have SO MANY SHARES - that are ONLY OWNED By SOFTBANK INSIDERS AND the market makers its disgusting--- what is called a "lock up period" is about to end and those insiders WILL CASH OUT and make back their WE WORK LOSSES and make multi millions more! ALL of this could have been avoided and ARM could have done so much for the UK ECONOMY -- if the govt. would have not let this sale happen! The USA has stopped other countries big finance from BUYING important USA TECH companies--so I KNOW the UK could have done the same! I am waiting to purchase ARM stock-- the timing of hopefully the insiders selling and the price come down would make it a real bargain! Its a GREAT technology and in the RIGHT hands it will lead ----AI -development as AI takes more power and that needs to be handled correctly-- thus---ARM!

[@Mike-wh9dq]

....'We need to talk" ..... so I listened and learned !!! Thanks for the informative and concise explanation to include some subtle humor!

[@rufdymond]

I suppose coming from the UK and being a tech guy, I have a good understanding of who ARM are and what they do....been aware of and used their tech since the 80s in the BBC Micro Computer. However its goo to see someone explain exactly who ARM are, and deliver that information to a wider audience.

[@ntemples1]

What an absolutely brilliantly informative video! Thank you! Certainly filled in all the blanks for me and I didn't realise that Arm actually originated from Acorn which incidentally built my first computer the Acorn Electron 37 years ago when I was 10!

[@chrisfranks4782]

Great video, I'm gonna be working at Arm this summer so its cool to learn more about them

[@TheUnlockr]

Congrats on the new job!

[@moranmono]

I think that the main reason is that the battery technology is still very limiting and we want smaller devices with longer battery life, that makes the arm based chipset the technology to go to

[@xrpmoonwolf]

have to dissagree depends on the usecase i would not want a x86 chipset for my phone cause itl def run out of juice fast but my pc at home is a amd 5900 cpu one of the insane powerhungry cpus for power paired with a amd 6800 gpu also power hungry but there isnt arm product that comes close plus i can emulate arm with ease but arm cannot emulate x86 easy maybe in a far far future arm could emulate x86. maybe in a FAR FAR FAR FAR future arm could emulate x86 while being as powerfull but if this doesnt happen its a no shot. there is no way all the older games and programs that arent being updated for arm will get lost people just wont switch over if it cant do that. so you want a powerhouse go x86 you want something light and it runs on a small battery go arm. imo the guy who payed 5k for a arm macbook is out of his mind. ill never get apple users im a heavy specs guy i build pc myself. even if you cant i would higly advice getting to know a bit of cpu and gpus a 1 day dive and youll have a good grasp over apple is screwing ya over.

Its going to be challenging for AMD and Intel as ARM and RISC-V are vigorously pushing their ISA moving forward beyond the boundaries of what CISC can do. They are more efficient and more powerful depending on the design for their respective use cases. Its going to be an exciting time for the future of computing P/S: Please do a Decodr episode about RISC-V. Interested to see in your point of view

ARM chips have typically been optimised for unix, maybe sparc and linux...super computering glabally would favour linux or unix on arm or risc 5 chips.

[@hojomo]

I'm back, reviewing this one two months later - seeing ARM as a good example of British style: "Task & Finish" - with petaflops becoming what's required to emulate the human brain - imagine what this channel will be like when those two concepts have merged! Then the "slabs in our hand" will have become the "blob behind our left ear" - getting away from colours, look & feel, to focus on "where can we go today". I'm looking forward to "first things first - Coffee, Check" in those times 🙂 Have a good Easter break David, and thanks for all you do to look this this slick.

I never understood till now what is ARM , X86, Rosetta etc etc etc. People have made it so complex. But you have made it so simple and clear in your explanations 👌. Blown away my mind how beautifully you have explanined ❤🙏 Subscribed your channel. I am new to your channel 😊

[@JB52520]

I've heard that RISC isn't really defined by having fewer instructions, even though that was the biggest distinction early on. By removing memory accesses from most of the instructions and having a fixed width, they become reduced in complexity. Nothing rules out having a lot of them. RISC is more of a Set of Codes for Reduced Instructions. x86 translates to RISC micro ops, but because the instructions have a highly variable width and many memory accessing modes, they require a complex decoder. ARM can get more done with less silicon, since there's less complexity between what the software wants to do and how the CPU decides to do it.

Really enjoyed this but it missed one of the most important things about ARM. It was discovered to work with low power by accident. When the first ARM chip was tested it worked but it was later found that it was running on a power leak… it shouldn’t have even run!

[@Shukz123]

Thanks for the educational video! This should be a series haha

[@yakkyuu12]

This was EXCELLENT, a very NICE, CLEAN explanation for people not DEEP tech, but want to know what ARM IS and some of the hints of what is to come! As a point of clarity and for the future importance of ARM, here are a few points that IS and ALWAYS will be at the HEART of computing. The #1 most worked on AND most PREVALENT concern of chips and their interaction with ALL computers is ---------------- HEAT! You touched on it nicely, and ARM figured it out(long ago), was and IS FAR, FAR ahead in controlling --- heat, which CAN'T be overstated! The "pedoflops" moment in the video--- FANTASTIC, but probably flew by many people------- The ABILITY for FUGAKU to do this AND NOT have a FAILURE DUE TO --- HEAT, being able to process ALL those instructions --- in SECONDS--- without FAILURE -- is SO TELLING about --- where the REAL FUTURE of chip design and RISC is going!! HEAT WILL ALWAYS be the PRIMARY ENEMY, it is masterful to WATCH ARM able to handle "PEDOFLOPS' OF INFO, and a FAILIRE on APPLE or INTEL --- NOT to BUY ARM! JUST watch what NVDA does NEXT--- they WILL create a software team that WILL support any and ALL companies that want to use ARM, plus their OWN chips! The DATA Center NEEDS are going to continue to EXPLODE--- welcome NVDA with ARM IN HAND!! JUST The DATA center market alone is MASSIVE! The amount of POWER that now will be reduced ( in terms of heat) and how this will let VERY BIG DATA centers function with MORE CAPACITY--- on A RELIABLE BASIS will be a game changer( already is actually!)! As 5G grows, more autonomous everything, the need for EFFICIENCY, is crucial, efficient use of the electrical grid and saving power EVEN as more processing is USED, that is just ONE facet where ARM sits at the center of the future! The programming (software side)of ARM chips, this flexibility WILL put NVDA in a very powerful position! GREAT video, I hope everyone gets the serious importance of it! They get a REAL glimpse of the future!

[@rolfedrengen]

I'm not sure what you mean about format. To me it's straight to the point and explains what I need tp know right now for the task I need to do. RISC is about pwer effiency, CISC is about speed. Multimedia, security, servers, science etc. will need speed, the rest of us need battery life.

[@michaelkosciesza645]

X86 for lyfe! I'm a dino. Guess I'll wait X years to build my next machine.

[@markwilliamson9199]

Gosh David this makes me feel old. I studied computer science in 1976-8, and it was all about CISC VS RISC. There were at least 10 instruction sets we studied, and they lay on a spectrum from very high CISC (average of 50 to 100 clock cycles per instruction) to very low like 2. I believe ARM is not very low, something like 4. The IBM 360 mainframe I used as a student had microcode loaded on an 8 inch floppy disk. It had custom instructions like “calculate tax on pay”. When the tax rates changed you just modified the CPU microcode, put in a new floppy and off you go!

[@Chemy.]

I kind of knew about it, I wonder if there is a third option to rise soon maybe some kind of hybrid like a CPU or SoC which have both set (maybe not probably because of coding in both ways) but looks like that.might be an option

[@wolfrig2000]

This helped me understand exactly what the difference was, alongside entertaining me! I wanted to know why my programs written on ARM didn't work the same way when I tried to run them on an X86 system.

Awesome video! :D Edit is on point :P

[@sorabhutube]

First time viewer instant subscriber. Came looking for information on ARM.. and I loved the way you have structured the video. Many you tubers don't realize that as a species our attention span is going down further and further .. even a 10 or 18 min video is something most people can find it difficult to sit through. Hence the rise of the tik tok generation where attention lasts but a few 10 to 15 seconds or mostly under a minute . The small gaps in narration that you inserted thoughtfully like setting up the fire or walking in a building office or getting in a car it helps break the monotony and more importantly gives the viewer those 4 or 5 seconds to decompress the information you just shared and helps to give some time and make the viewer form their own opinions and stack this newly acquired info in their own custom compartments in their brains or make quick mental notes to followup post the video. Like I made quick notes on mediatek and more info on ARM and how Nvidia recently made an acquisition attempt at ARM . I could do all this because of the beautiful interludes you thoughtfully inserted. The other thing I loved about the video is unlike other youbtubers you didn't put your face in front of the camera for the entire length of the video.. it really doesn't help to necessarily see the face of the creator and at times its a distraction too .. then next best thing you did was to ensure there is just the right amount of graphics to get the concept out so it's comprehensible . No amount of verbal orchestra would have achieved the same effect that a 20 sec neatly created graphic can do when expertly accompanied by smart commentary. All in all If this was a new format I must tell you it's awesome. All the best and keep doing what you love... best of luck and thanks for sharing this....
