Application ARM-based chips

As I was doing some research to write the previous article - Comparison of the Raspberry Pi B+ & the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, I found this very interesting chart showing everyone else using the ARM V7 and V8 architecture.

We know that the Raspberry Pi is Broadcom BCM2835 (ARM V6) & Broadcom BCM2836 (ARM V7) based. We read about Microsoft with Windows on ARM, WindowsRT, Windows 8 builds for ARM which were all built for ARM V7 architecture which includes the Texas Instrument OMAP5 (ARM Cortex A-15), Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 MSM8960 (ARM Cortex A-9), Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Krait and Nvidia Tegra 2 (ARM Cortex A-9 and ARM Cortex A-53).

Look who else is using the ARM V7 - Apple A6, A6X & ARM V8 - Apple A7, A8, A8X, A9, A9X!

The list also includes all the BlackBerry OS 10.x based phones - PlayBook, PlayBook WiMax & 4G PlayBook HSPA+ (TI OMAP 4430), 4G LTE PlayBook (TI OMAP 4460), Q10 (Snapdragon S4 (LTE version) / TI OMAP 4470 (Non-LTE)), Q5, Z10 & Leap (Snapdragon S4 Plus MSM8960), Z30 (Snapdragon S4 Pro MSM8960T), Z3 (Snapdragon 400 MSM8230).

The Application ARM-based chips chart was lifted from ARM architecture.
