It's the processor architecture that in the past was used primarily on servers. Now it's almost universally used in mobile devices, too. It's ubiquity has caused a much larger technological demand for cross-platform development, which is one of the reasons why technologies like JavaScript and Rust have become so popular. Additionally, it's lower power and lower heat compared to it's x86 cousins.
