Armv9-A architecture gives developers the programming tools and environment to innovate at pace for the rapidly expanding AI market. It enables faster compute in high-performance use cases, while adding a suite of security features that guarantee data and operation integrity on a device or server. These benefits are delivered without compromising the balance of power consumption and performance inherent in Arm products.

Specifically, Armv9-A is a set of extensions to the Armv8-A architecture, and part of a rolling program of substantial enhancements being deployed over the next few years. The latest implementation is Armv9.4-A. This version contains performance features that accelerate the processing of large datasets, improve bandwidth, and optimize software performance. Armv9.4-A also includes security features that isolate applications from attacks, prevent memory safety issues, and prevent existing code from being used to create a malicious program.
