Why do electrons move faster than holes in a semiconductor?


When an electron leaves, then only a hole is created, and when another electron fills it, then only the hole moves, so in that way, both should conduct current at the same speed. Yet I've been told that holes have higher mobility than electrons. Please explain how that can be, I'm confused.

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
