Cortex
A5:
The
ARM Cortex-A5 processor is the smallest, lowest cost and lowest power ARMv7
application processor.
As
a standalone processor, it is capable of delivering the internet to the widest
possible range of devices, from smart devices like wearable, feature phones and
low-cost, entry-level smartphones, to a range of pervasive embedded, consumer
and industrial devices.
The
Cortex-A5 processor is supported by a suite of optimized IP targeted at
mid-range solutions, bringing highest efficiency levels and ease of
integration. ARM Mali™-400 provides support for 2D vector graphics through
OpenVG™ 1.1 and 3D graphics through OpenGL® ES 1.1 and 2.0, while ARM Physical
IP Platforms deliver process optimized IP, for best-in-class implementations of
the Cortex-A5 processor at 40nm and below.
Cortex A9:
The
ARM Cortex-A9 processor
is a popular general purpose choice for low-power or thermally constrained,
cost-sensitive devices.
The
processor is a mature option having been introduced in 2008, and remains a very
popular choice in smartphones, digital TV, and both consumer and enterprise
applications enabling the Internet of Things. As a single processor solution,
the Cortex-A9 processor offers an overall performance enhancement of well above
50% compared to ARM Cortex-A8 solutions.
The
Cortex-A9 processor is available with a range of supporting ARM technology. ARM
Physical IP is available to support a synthesizable flow optimized for lowest
power or highest performance, as well as a choice of hard-macros reducing risk
and shortening time-to-market. Enhanced ARM Graphics IP like Mali™-T624 and ARM
System IP such as CoreLink™ NIC-400/301 network interconnect and CoreLink
DMC-342 dynamic memory controller allow a rapid system design.
