Intel x86 vs. Arm: The Most Important Selection Criterion

In today’s business climate, a successful cloud journey is not only essential for businesses for long-term competitiveness but also for meeting organization-wide digital transformation goals. In order to streamline the journey to and across clouds, we believe organizations must attain a fundamental understanding of microprocessor architectures that underpin cloud ecosystems.

Organizations must ensure the microprocessor architecture powering their cloud implementations commands the hyper-threading, single-thread performance, toolchain, API creation capabilities, and validation as well as the fullest backing and influence of industry standards. Selecting the right microprocessor architecture reduces complexity and costs across both cloud and data center environments, which is table stakes today as businesses are operating on razor-thin margins.

That’s why we recently evaluated Intel’s x86 architecture. In our latest white paper, Intel x86 vs. Arm: The Most Important Selection Criterion — created in collaboration with Intel — we will explore what we believe to be the most important selection criteria for any microprocessor architecture. By understanding the built-in capabilities of the x86 architecture, businesses can gain the full benefits of flexibility, predictable performance, efficiency, and security in driving their cloud journeys.

In this white paper you’ll learn:

  • An overview of the x86 architecture
  • Performance comparisons of other microprocessor architecture
  • Software development advantages of the x86 architecture
  • A comprehensive look at the benefits of using the x86 architecture
  • Key considerations for organizations looking to improve their architecture

There is no doubt organizations must take a comprehensive approach to understand the strategic microprocessor architecture powering their implementations.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
