[Solved] CPU speeds don’t make any sense

The clock speed only refers to the frequency of instructions executed per unit time . But some CPUs can handle more complex instructions which may be equivalent to several basic instructions in the case of previous gen CPUs . Architecture also matters , hence an efficient Architecture may increase the work done per unit time … Read more

[Solved] how does assembler convert from assembly to machine code?

Please try to limit your questions to one question per question. Neverthless, let me try and answer them. Question 1 An “assembly compiler” is called an “assembler.” Assembly is assembled, not compiled. And the assembler is not specific to C++. It is specific to the architecture and can only be used to assemble assembly programs … Read more

[Solved] Is ARM’s RISC instruction set a subset of x86? If so, why can’t x86 run ARM software natively then?

No, its no. The ARM instruction set may be more limited compared to the x86 instruction set but this has nothing to do with the architecture of the processors. The ARM instruction set is not a subset of x86 instructions. They are encoded differently and the processor executes them in a different way. The registers … Read more
