Can't find many microprocessor manufacturers with Cortex-A7 architecture?

My understanding is that ARM Cortex-A7 architecture was released after Cortex-A9 and improves features of previous versions. However, I have only found one manufacturer, NXP, that uses Cortex-A7 architecture in their processors. I am referring to manufacturers that mass produce microprocessors only. Suggestions?

  • Personally I would stick to the mainstream Silicon vendors.

    The most obvious choice would be NXP who have plenty of A7 and A9 devices in their iMX families.

    Atmel ATSAMA5Dx family will give something like @90% of the performance of A7 and may also be suitable.

    If you don't need an A class processor then try looking at Cortex-M7 options from ST or Atmel
