Overview of ARM and Mobile Device Architecture

Now you may realize that there is more than one assembly language type. The most widely used assembly language types are ARM, MIPS, and x86. New architectures will come, and they will replace the old ones, just because they may have reduced power consumption, or silicon die size. Another push for new CPU architecture is malware that uses the architecture features against users, to steal their data. Such malware, like “Spectre” and “Meltdown”, perform attacks based on vulnerabilities in modern CPU designs. Used vulnerabilities were designed as a feature for the CPU – speculative execution and branch prediction. So – this means that in the future, there will be new architectures or their newer versions and alongside them, new malwares.
