Von Neumann architecture and Turing machines

Hi everyone! Today I´m writing about the Von Neumann architecture and about the Turing machine. These two are very similar concepts, but one of the biggest diferences between them would be that te Turing machine is a hypothetical concept. The Von Neumann architecture is an actuall, physical thing. To make it easyer, I will put it like this: the Turing machine is part of the software that uses the hardware V. Neumann architecture. On the other hand, they are also very similar. They both do the same function (prossesin information) based in the same structure (input, then prosses and at the end, output) and using the same code [uses binary (0 and 1) bits].
Here I leave you a mind mup I have been working with Francesca Burges so you get more familiar with the two concepts:
