Some critical considerations for SoC and Silicon Realization teams thinking about using ARM Cortex-A7 or ARM Cortex-A8 processor cores
November 2, 2011
ARM sort of dropped the introduction of the ARM Cortex-A7 processor core out of the sky a couple of weeks ago, so you might be wondering about its place in the ARM Cortex-A series pantheon.
I was able to spend a few minutes discussing the Cortex-A7 core with Brian Jeff, a Product Manager at ARM, and he told me several significant things you need to know about the ARM Cortex-A7 core when making a processor core selection for you next SoC design:
