The ARM Cortex-A7xx and Neoverse N cores are intended to be comparable to the Intel E-cores (Atom cores, like in Alder Lake N, such as Intel N100, or in the small cores of Raptor Lake) and to the AMD compact cores (like in Bergamo or future mobile CPUs). These cores are optimized for low area and low power consumption, with the expectation that a good throughput can be obtained by using a large number of cores.

The ARM Cortex-X and Neoverse V cores are intended to compete with the Intel P-cores (like in Sapphire Rapids or the big cores of Raptor Lake) and with the AMD normal cores. These cores are optimized for high single-thread performance and for workloads where low latency is important.

The ARM Cortex-A5xx cores are much smaller and slower than any Intel or AMD cores.
