Comparative Study of the 64-bit and Apple families of Microprocessors

Abstract- We live in an era of computers. From the smallest embedded system to the complex servers that take care of the world economy, we need microprocessors to run them. As time passed by, applications needed more processing power and this lead to an explosive era of research on the architecture of microprocessors. As part of our project we are going to present a technical & comparative study of these smart microprocessors. It will include the different software & hardware technical aspects of such devices for instance OS, applications used, hardware study etc. In this report, we study and compare two microprocessor families that have been at the core of the world’s most popular microprocessors of today – 64 bit microprocessor & Apple microprocessor
