The ARM7™ as well as the ARM9™ family is a range of low-power 32-bit RISC microprocessor cores optimized for cost and power-sensitive consumer applications.

Both families incorporate the Thumb 16-bit instruction set - enabling 32-bit performance at 8/16-bit system cost.

The ARM9E™ family offers single chip solutions for microcontroller, DSP and Java applications, offering savings in chip area and complexity, power consumption, and time-to-market. The ARM9E™ integer CPU core is a DSP-enhanced 32-bit RISC processor core, well suited for applications requiring a mix of DSP and microcontroller performance.

Offering an excellent combination of high performance and low power consumption, the ARM10™ family includes new architectural features to deliver the highest MIPS/MHz of any ARM® product, new power-saving modes, 64-bit load-store micro-architecture, IEEE754 compatible Floating-Point coprocessor with vector operations, easy system integration.

The ARM11™ family is the latest generation of CPU products from ARM. The ARM11™ family of microprocessor cores features an industry-leading combination of high performance, low power, small size, high code density and powerful instruction set architecture to target next-generation, high volume products across a broad range of market applications. The ARM11 family of cores targets 335 to 400+ MHz worst case on 0.13µm foundry processes, delivering over 400 Dhrystone MIPS.

High-performance, low-power StrongARM® processors provide ideal solutions for portable communications and consumer electronics devices. The processors, which were jointly developed by ARM® and Digital Equipment Corporation, are now available from Intel®.

The Intel® Xscale™ low-power RISC microarchitecture delivers key advantages for a wide range of market segments from battery-powered, wireless and handheld applications such as digital phones and personal digital assistants to such Internet infrastructure applications as network processors and intelligent I/O processors. Fully compliant with the ARM® v.5TE instruction set, this new microarchitecture provides a full-featured, cost-effective, low-power solution with support for both 16-bit Thumb instructions and integrated digital signal processor (DSP) instructions.
