− | Introduced in | + | Introduced in 1986, the ARM2 is a reimplementation of the {{\\|ARM1}} on a smaller process along with the addition of a number of additional enhancements. The ARM2 was capable of exceeding 10 MIPS when not bottlenecked by memory with an average of around 6 MIPS. Unlike the ARM1 which was predominantly a research project, the ARM2 became the first commercially successful ARM microprocessor. |
The ARM2 was designed to work as an embedded controller or a coprocessor or as a stand-alone microprocessor system. The [[Acorn Archimedes]] family of personal computers was built using the ARM2 along with a number of fully custom support chips that were also designed by Acorn Computer. | The ARM2 was designed to work as an embedded controller or a coprocessor or as a stand-alone microprocessor system.
