What is CPU Architecture? — NodeOps Glossary

CPU Architecture — CPU architecture refers to the instruction set design of a processor. The two main architectures in Cloud computing are ARM64 (RISC-based, power-efficient, used in smartphones and increasingly in servers like Apple M-series and AWS Graviton) and AMD64/x86-64 (CISC-based, wide software compatibility, dominant in desktops and data centers). Choosing the correct architecture is essential when deploying Docker containers and templates on NodeOps Cloud.
