Comparative Review of Multicore Architectures: Intel, AMD, and ARM in the Modern Computing Era

Abstract

Every element of our contemporary lives has changed as a result of the widespread use of computing infrastructure and information technology in daily life. Less focus has been placed on the hardware components that underpin the computing revolution, despite the fact that its effects on software applications have been the most obvious. The computer chip is the most basic component of computer hardware and powers all digital devices. Every gadget, including mainframes, laptops, cellphones, tablets, desktop PCs, and supercomputers, is powered by different computer chips. Although there are many different types of these chips, the biggest producers in this field are AMD (Advanced Micro Devices), Intel, and ARM (Advanced RISC Machines). These companies make processors for both consumer and business markets. Users have compared their products based on a number of factors, including pricing, cache and memory, approaches, etc. This paper provides a comprehensive comparative analysis of Intel, AMD, and ARM processors, focusing on their architectural characteristics and performance within the context of burgeoning artificial intelligence applications. The detailed architectural features, performance evaluation for AI workloads, a comparison of power efficiency and cost, and analysis for current market trends are presented. By thoroughly examining core architectural elements and key performance factors, this work provides valuable insights for users and developers to seek optimal processor choices to maximize AI tool utilization in the contemporary era.
