ARM and x86 are CPU architectures, i.e. sets of instructions that a CPU can execute.

Most CPUs implementing those architectures have a pipeline - that is, they start processing the next instruction before they're done with the previous one, kinda like an assembly line.

This is great when they know what instruction is going to be executed next. But when there is a branch in the code (eg. an if statement) they don't know ahead of time.
