Cortex-A5 Evaluation boards

Note: This was originally posted on 26th July 2011 at http://forums.arm.com

Hi All,

Is there any evaluation boards available in the market for cortex A-5 ?. I would like to evaluate A-5 performance against A-8. Any pointers suggestions for this also welcome.

Thanks & Regards,
Bijesh

At the same frequency Cortex-A8 will be faster.

Cortex-A5 has a very small area footprint and designed for extreme power efficiency. Performance wise it is above an ARM11, but lower than a Cortex-A8. If you look at the "products" pages of the website you see the DMIPS figures for the two cores (1.57 DMIPS/MHz for the A5, and 2 DMIPS/MHz for the A8).

The core number is very very approximately indicative of performance position in the processor family - so the speed rankings are A5, A8, A9, A15.
