| Jan 2, 2015 at 13:11 | comment | added | Ariser | Please be more precise in terms of what features you want to compare. Think of RAM, memory architecture (Harvard vs. v. Neumann), instruction pipelines, caches etc. There literally are as many differences as transistors inside the CPUs, an exhausting answer is impossible and any other try won't meet what you want to read. | |

| Jan 2, 2015 at 3:30 | comment | added | tstew | @jfpoilpret According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a computer is "an electronic machine that can store and work with large amounts of information." An Arduino would fit this definition. You need to be more specific. | |

| Jan 2, 2015 at 1:04 | comment | added | jfpoilpret | Comparing an MCU with a CPU seems like comparing apples and oranges... Comparing an Arduino to a computer is also plain wrong as it is NOT a computer. | |

| Jan 2, 2015 at 1:02 | comment | added | Chris Stratton | Compared to an 8088 IBM PC, faster CPU clock, 2-3 orders of magnitude less RAM, and half the ALU width. Ultimately, you have to make such comparisons in terms of applications (especially, speed to accomplish what?) and they are targeted at quite different roles. | |
