The ARM Cortex family comprises three series, which all implement the Thumb-2 instruction set to address the increasing performance and cost demands of various markets:
- The ARM Cortex-A Series is a family of applications processors for complex OS and user applications.
The Cortex-A8 and Cortex-A9 processors support the ARM, Thumb and Thumb-2 instruction sets.
- The ARM Cortex-R Series is a family of embedded processors for real-time systems.
These processors support the ARM, Thumb, and Thumb-2 instruction sets. Currently this family comprises the Cortex-R4 and the Cortex-R4F processors
- The ARM Cortex-M Series is a family of deeply embedded processors optimized for cost sensitive applications. These processors support the Thumb-2
instruction set only. This family comprises the Cortex-M3 , the Cortex-M1 and the Cortex-M0 processors
A full list of public Cortex processor licensees is available.
