> because ARM is commonly believed to be much more power efficient than x86.
Because most ARM processors were designed for mobile phones and optimised to death for power efficiency.
The total power usage of the front end decoders is a single digit percentage of the total power draw. Even if ARM magically needed 0 watts for this, it couldn’t save more power than that. The rest of the processor design elements are essentially identical.
