List of ARM processors

"ARM8" redirects here. For the ARMv8-A architecture, see ARMv8-A. For the ARMv8-R architecture, see ARMv8-R.

This is a list of central processing units based on the ARM family of instruction sets designed by ARM Ltd. and third parties, sorted by version of the ARM instruction set, release and name. In 2005, ARM provided a summary of the numerous vendors who implement ARM cores in their design.^[1] Keil also provides a somewhat newer summary of vendors of ARM based processors.^[2] ARM further provides a chart^[3] displaying an overview of the ARM processor lineup with performance and functionality versus capabilities for the more recent ARM core families.
