which processors are very advanced processors

Hello,

Is it OK for an answer that Cortex-A72 is it in the 64bit Cortex-A, Cortex-A17 (or in a sense, Cortex-A15) is it in the 32bit Cortex-A, Cortex-R7 is it in Cortex-R and Cortex-M7 is it in Cortex-M?

Best regards,

Hi, I think it depends on what Karthigowri considers advanced... and if it is for available products.

ARM Cortex-A Processors

Today, you cannot buy an ARM Cortex-A72. That's a processor for the future.

Today, the ARM Cortex-A53 and ARM Cortex-A57 are the big guys. Both of them support both 32-bit (=AARCH32 ISA) and 64-bit (=AARCH64 ISA) instruction sets and the big.LITTLE configuration. However, the silicon vendor can choose to only implement one of them...

• ARM Cortex-A17 / Cortex-A12 processor update

ARM Cortex-M Processors

On the ARM Cortex-M, if you want the smallest microcontroller, then you would look for an ARM Cortex-M0+ whereas the ARM Cortex-M7-based microcontrollers deliver more performance. For FPGA implementation, the less known ARM Cortex-M1 core should be considered.

• ARM Cortex-M0+: More than a low-power processor
• Meet the new ARM Cortex-M7 processor: supercharging embedded devices

ARM Cortex-R Processors

The latest product announced was the ARM Cortex-R7. I can advise you to read Chris Turner and Neil Werdmuller content on the matter.

Karthigowri,

What kind of requirements do you have? Are you only looking at "horse-power" or are you interested in other points like pipeline, instruction set, virtualization...

and welcome to the ARM Connected Community!

Just to be sure about your question... What you mean by advanced ?

Technologically advanced or the most used (software developement) ?
