Which arm processor has the largest number or cores?
Hi mbenson,
Last February 23, EZchip Semiconductor Ltd. introduced the TILE-Mx multicore processor family. EZchip's TILE-Mx100 integrates 100 ARMv8-A 64-bit ARM Cortex®-A53 cores into a single chip.

I don't know if this is the highest number of ARM core in a single chip as of today. Still, we have to know which has the most number of ARM cores in a package or module. Note also from the Availability section of the press release:
The TILE-Mx is scheduled to sample in the second half of 2016.

I think this chip from IBM must be a contender

not ARM I'm afraid! I guess the answer really comes down to exactly what you mean by a core
Hi daith,
mbenson asked for arm processor. It's not in the title/subject, it's in the body and in small case.
The processor cores in this “brain-like” chip are not ARM, but are not IBM's POWER architecture either. These 4,096 processor cores are neural network processors.
Nevertheless, with neuromorphic computing and Carver Mead, the article is interesting.
Sorry yes I missed that when reading the question, and I thought I'd read it again to check that!
Another interesting article although the processor is also not based on ARM but of SPARC descent.
