ARM vs Intel: What Are They? What is the Difference Between Them?

Most computing devices today are likely to have an Intel processor, or an ARM (Advanced RISC Machine) processor, such as the CPU in your smartphone or tablet. Both chip architectures are optimised for low-power operation in order to provide mobile devices with the long battery life they require. However, they reflect different mindsets from a technical standpoint.
