I guess I'm just too lazy to google, but I upgraded my phone to the galaxy s5 and when looking at the hardware I realized it's faster then any CPU I have. I've been outta that shit for almost a decade, but still.. to my question. Is a phones hardware equally compatible to a cpu? 2.5ghz quad core for a phone?

Tldr; too lazy to google

Yay!

Main advantage of an ARM chip is power management & decoding instructions with a RISC based architecture. Traditional, X86 can take a different sized bytes, the larger and varied sizes takes more energy separating instructions before they can be processed. As opposed to RISC where every instruction is 4 bytes, doesn’t have to work as hard to group. Intel chips are better at executing instructions and putting them into memory.

“If you look at any modern, high-performance chip, what you’ll find inside is maybe 25% to 35% CPU cores, 35% to 45% cache memory, and the rest is other stuff like memory control, I/O and so on,” Kanter told Cult of Mac in an interview last year. “So while ARM can make their CPU cores about 20% smaller and more power-efficient than Intel can because of RISC, all things being equal, that’s only a really tiny advantage overall. Maybe 4%.
And that 4% advantage disappears the second you put Intel’s massive manufacturing muscle into the equation.”

It also feels faster running a dinky operating system with modern internals components suited for your mobile device. I lost the other article but it showed if current trends continued it would be about 7 years for ARM processors to get close to a a traditional chip(most optimistic projection). Also Found most modern arm chips comparable to an Intel 95-97 chipset. It would be awesome if they caught them but tricky to remain just as energy efficient. Eventually, in our life time they can catch desktops as Moore’s Law will be ending with in 8-10 years. After 5nm transistor sizes will reach the limits imposed by thermodynamics and quantum physics. Although, some have suggested switching to analog-quantum computers when this happens which wouldn’t be entirely accurate but with redundancy measures it could still manage to correct any wrong instructions given… Or Maybe Google fiber will allow us to share processors in the cloud. Shit could be Kray CRAY

Nexus 5 for the win.
