One of the operation types that benefitted from much of that money and software development time is cryptography, where entire chunks of silicon are dedicated to quickly performing the (for better or worse) pipelined calculations that allow us to conduct secure transmissions along to their destinations.
There’s a lot of technical differences I just wanted to go a step above saying “arm is just a lil guy and x86 is a muscly dude who can’t function without his protein”, which seems appropriate to me.
