Big.LITTLE microprocessor architectures explained, including coverage of ARM big.LITTLE and DynamIQ, Apple M1, and Intel’s new performance hybrid architecture.

More information on Apple’s transition to Arm processors is contained in my video “Apple Goes ARM”:    • Apple Goes ARM: The RISC Revolution  

And you can learn more about how CPUs work in this video:
