Tonight Steve the Anecdotal Engineer returns.

He explains:

• The different processor types (CPU vs GPU) and what they're good at.
• The different architectures (Motorola, PowerPC, Intel/AMD, ARM)
• Why are these new Apple chips screamin' fast, and what are the tradeoffs?

Stay tuned next week for the conclusion of this discussion, where I throw an article at him and he explains how it works.
