ARM Cortex-A5

{{Main|Comparison of ARMv7-A cores}}

The Cortex-A5 is intended to replace the ARM9 and ARM11 cores for use in low-end devices.{{cite web | url=https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2009/10/arm-fills-out-cpu-lineup-with-cortex-a5/ | title=ARM fills out CPU lineup with Cortex A5 | date=Oct 23, 2009 | publisher=Ars Technica | author=Jon Stokes | access-date=2012-10-18}} The Cortex-A5 offers features of the ARMv7 architecture focusing on internet applications e.g. VFPv4 and NEON advanced SIMD.{{cite web|url=http://www.arm.com/products/processors/cortex-a/cortex-a5.php|title=Cortex-A5 Processor|

Key features of the Cortex-A5 core are:

• Single-issue, in-order microarchitecture with an 8-stage pipeline
• NEON SIMD instruction set extension (optional)
• VFPv4 floating-point unit (optional)
• Thumb-2 instruction set encoding
• Jazelle RCT
• 1.57 DMIPS / MHz

Several system-on-chips (SoC) have implemented the Cortex-A5 core, including:

• Actions Semiconductor ATM7029 (gs702a) is a quad-core Cortex-A5 configuration
• AMD APUs include a Cortex-A5 as a security co-processor{{cite web | url=http://www.anandtech.com/show/6007/amd-2013-apus-to-include-arm-cortexa5-processor-for-trustzone-capabilities | title=AMD 2013 APUs To Include ARM Cortex-A5 Processor For TrustZone Capabilities | date=2012-06-13 | publisher=AnandTech | author=Ryan Smith | access-date=2012-10-17}}
