Talk:ARM Cortex-A53

Release date

Is there some official release date available? This is some IP core, so either the date of availability or the first product shipped. User:ScotXW^t@lk 16:48, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Added reference to release announcement. I found this article to be shockingly, astoundingly short on historical dates & citations of the Cortex A53. Rektide (talk) 06:03, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

In Comparison of ARMv8-A cores I used the dates when the technical reference manuals were first marked non-confidential as an approximation of release date. That date has the advantage of being precise and easily found, but it does not say when you could buy the IP block or a chip containing one. For the IP block, you can further subdivide into when you could get a model to embed in your design and when a fab could make you one. For the A-53 the non-confidential date is 14 February 2014.

Which is the other one?

The article states, that "The ARM Cortex-A53 is one of the first two central processing units ... etc." Which is the other one? – Pkunk (talk) 11:56, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

As per the ARM press release cited in the lead, the other is the Cortex-A57. Guy Harris (talk) 06:41, 16 May 2023 (UTC)

Thanks! --Pkunk (talk) 07:08, 19 May 2023 (UTC)

Which is the other one? (different part :)

The article states, that "The latest SoCs still using the Cortex-A53 are MediaTek Helio G36, both of which are entry-level SoCs designed for budget smartphones." So which is the other one of "both"?.. - MreeBiPolar (talk) 20:28, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

There is no other one. The "are" and "both of which" are left over from when it was referring to two SoCs; that was changed in this edit, but that edit just changed some SoC names to a single SoC name, it didn't fix the sentence to use the singular. I've fixed it. Guy Harris (talk) 20:05, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
