ARM is a CPU instruction set, while Snapdragon is a series of CPU's from Qualcomm that uses the ARM architecture. There are other brands of CPU that use the ARM architecture, such as the M1 from Apple and the CPU in the Raspberry Pi computers.

Compared to the x86 instruction set in the Core CPU's from Intel (or the Ryzen CPU's from AMD), ARM is very different and incompatible, which requires a translation layer to run any x86 apps (and these are far from perfect).
