There are several reasons why ARM has been successful on mobile devices (while others like Intel have struggled). One of the key reasons is the low power consumption of the ARM architecture. However ARM is fighting an on-going battle between performance and power usage. In simple terms the higher the processor performance, the more power is used. High power requirements aren’t good for mobile devices which rely on batteries, rather than mains power like desktop computers.Instead of just upping the Megahertz and seeing the power usage go up (something that happened on the PC for a number of years), ARM are taking a different approach and has developed an architecture called big.
