One prefers locking and complicated instructions, the other is designed with open and simplicity.
At one point, Intel seemed to be dominant, and proven right with their proprietary tech, where as ARM chugged along keeping a low profile, and keep doing the good work. Now, finally the reality has caught up with them, and turns out openness and simplicity is finally taking a lead.
How is ARM open? And simplicity is also subjective… x86 goes way back thats why it seems more complicated or “crufty”.
ARM is a huge corp like anyone else.
ARM got a huge boost now since everything is switching to mobile and their chips are more energy efficient than Intels. Added to that Intel was also asleep at the wheel and missed the mobile boat…
