Cortex A | Cortex R | Cortex M |
---|---|---|
Application processors. | Real time processors. | Microcontrollers. |
Used in wide range of devices that have fully functional processors. | Used in critical systems where data interpretations is essential. | Designed for small devices and mixed signal processing. |
High performance, high efficiency and high computational power. | High performance, real time and safe. | Low performance point, higher efficiency. |
It runs at relatively high clock frequency. | It runs on high clock frequency. | It runs at slower clock speed. |
It is connected to large amount of memory. | -- | It is connected to less memory. |
It handles large amount of applications and is capable of running complex operating system directly. | It is designed to handle fast changing data, and to be sufficiently responsive to handle data throughput without slowing down. | It is built into microcontroller with I/O lines and designed for small factor systems that rely on heavy digital input and output. |
-- | It is cost effective, requires low power and less physical area. | It requires less energy and has longer battery life. |
-- | -- | It requires smaller code and it is easy to use. |
Applications- Mobiles, telephones, tablets, laptops, etc | Applications- Medical Deices, Car systems. | Applications- Robotic systems, small consumer electronics. |
