ARM64 is the 64-bit Arm instruction set architecture, formally AArch64, used in processors from smartphones and laptops to cloud servers.
A CPU cache is small, very fast memory inside the processor that keeps recently used data and instructions close to the cores to avoid slow RAM…
Clock speed is the frequency, measured in gigahertz, at which a processor's clock signal advances its circuits through instruction cycles.
A CPU, or central processing unit, is the general-purpose processor that fetches, decodes and executes the instructions of every program on a computer.
A CPU core is an independent processing unit within a processor that fetches, decodes and executes instructions, with its own registers and pipeline.
A CPU thread is a hardware execution context that lets a processor core run an independent instruction stream, often two per core through SMT.
x86-64 is the 64-bit extension of the x86 instruction set architecture that runs most desktop, laptop and server processors in use today.
