In terms of 64-bit ARMv8 (AArch64) cores/microarchitectures, there exists or has been announced so far:
- Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57, Cortex A-72 and Cortex-A73 from ARM Ltd.
- You missed the A35 and the A32 (though the A32 is a 32-bit only v8).
Qualcomm are going after Intel with their server chip. Unlike the others, they're going straight to a leading edge process, they're starting at 10nm a year before Intel.
In other news Windows 10 will run on ARM, complete with x86 emulator. ARM is heading back to the desktop!
X86 emulation via an ARM processor?
Sounds ugly.
Will the decedents of the processors in the Acorn RISC Machine ever make it back to the desktop?
Anybody's guess, but the real question is will they be competitive?
