A new employee at your IT firm has been assigned the task of configuring a company-provided mobile phone for secure corporate use. The phone will be used for emails, scheduling, and accessing company applications. This employee is aware of different CPU architectures and knows that most mobile phones, including the one they are working on, typically use a specific type of CPU for efficiency and battery life. What type of CPU architecture is most commonly found in mobile phones?
ARM architecture is designed for efficiency and low power consumption, which makes it ideal for mobile phones that rely on battery life. ARM CPUs are widely used in mobile devices because they provide the necessary computing power without excessively draining the battery. The x86 architecture is generally found in PCs, and the CISC wouldn't be referred to by architecture in this context. While 32-bit and 64-bit are types of architectures concerning how much data a processor can handle at once, they do not represent the actual architecture design philosophy behind most mobile CPUs.
