The ARM Cortex-A5 is a 32-bit processor core licensed by ARM Holdings implementing the ARMv7-A architecture announced in 2009.[1]
Overview
[edit]The Cortex-A5 is intended to replace the ARM9 and ARM11 cores for use in low-end devices.[1] The Cortex-A5 offers features of the ARMv7 architecture focusing on internet applications e.g. VFPv4 and NEON advanced SIMD.[2]
Key features of the Cortex-A5 core are:
- Single-issue, in-order microarchitecture with an 8-stage pipeline[1]
- NEON SIMD instruction set extension (optional)
- VFPv4 floating-point unit (optional)
- Thumb-2 instruction set encoding
- Jazelle RCT
- 1.57 DMIPS / MHz
Chips
[edit]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[3]
- Amlogic S805, M805 and A111
- Analog Devices ADSP-SC57x, ADSP-SC58x series ARM Cortex-A5 + SHARC+ multicore DSP
- Atmel SAMA5Dxx
- Freescale Vybrid Series
- NTC Module 1879VM8Ya (penta-core Cortex-A5, up to 800 MHz)
- Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7x25A / MSM7x27A (up to 1.0GHz + Adreno 200)
- Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Play
- Samsung Exynos 7420 (Cortex-A5 as an audio DSP)[4]
- Spreadtrum SC8810 (single core A5 1 GHz + Mali400 GPU)
- All AMD CPUs since the Zen microarchitecture[needs update?] contain a Cortex-A5 as a Platform Security Processor[5]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
