Which CPU architecture, chosen for low power consumption and therefore found in the vast majority of smartphone processors, will the employee likely encounter when configuring the company-issued mobile phone?
Mobile phones prioritize battery life and compact, efficient design. ARM processors follow a reduced instruction set computing (RISC) design that delivers sufficient performance with very low power draw, so more than 99% of smartphones ship with ARM-based SoCs. x86 chips dominate PCs but are rare in phones; CISC is a design style rather than a specific architecture family; and 64-bit describes word size, not the underlying instruction set used in most handsets.
