Overview
The Arm® Cortex®-A5 processor is the smallest, lowest power Arm multi-core processor capable of delivering the internet to the widest possible range of devices: from ultra-low-cost handsets, feature phones and smart mobile devices, to pervasive embedded, consumer and industrial devices.
Both the extremely area and power efficient Cortex-A5 uniprocessor and the scalable Cortex-A5 MPCore multi-core processors are supported by a rich set of features and Armv7 architectural functionality to deliver a high-performance and low-power solution across both application specific and general purpose designs.
The Cortex-A5 processor includes TrustZone® security technology along with a NEON™ multimedia processing engine first introduced with the Cortex-A8 processor. NEON technology is a 128-bit SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) architecture extension for the Cortex-A series processors, providing flexible and compelling acceleration for intensive multimedia applications.

Purpose-built Arm CPUs for Google Cloud underpin the latest generation of Google TPUs and enable cost-efficient, high-throughput agent orchestration with GKE Agentic Sandbox
For the first time in our more than 35-year history, Arm is delivering its own silicon products – extending the Arm Neoverse platform beyond IP and Arm Compute Subsystems (CSS) to give customers greater choice in how they deploy Arm compute – from building custom silicon to integrating platform-level solutions or deploying Arm-designed processors.
Arm Flexible Access is evolving, unlocking broader startup eligibility, expanded edge AI capabilities, and a more flexible way to design, test, and bring silicon to market.
System-level AI design is expanding the role of the CPU and Arm is the foundation of what comes next
Today, during its Autonomy and AI Day, Rivian, one of the industry’s most forward-leaning, AI-native automakers, introduced its third generation autonomy hardware platform developed entirely in-house, the Rivian Gen 3 Autonomy Computer. At the core of the platform is a new custom autonomy chip, the Rivian Autonomy Processor (RAP1), which leverages the Arm compute platform.
New platform tightly integrates hardware and software to speed time-to-market and meet the growing demands of on-device AI experiences across the ecosystem.
