Summary#
Arm Holdings is a semiconductor and software design company based in Cambridge, England, whose primary business is the design of central processing unit (CPU) cores that implement the ARM architecture family of instruction sets. They also design their own GPUs called Mali / Immortalis as well as NPUs called Ethos.
ARM CPU Cores#
All ARMv8-A and newer cores
2025#
| ISA | Name | Class |
|---|
| ARMv9.3-A | C1-Ultra (Cortex-X930) | Flagship |
