Many? Arm Ltd designed Armv8-a chips fall into three tiers:

• Support AArch32 at EL0-EL3 (everywhere)

• Support AArch32 at EL0 (user mode)

• No AArch32 support

The most fielded cores fall into the first category. The newer cores - A76 and it’s contemporaries IIRC - fall into the second category. Only it’s recently disclosed data center cores fall into the third category.



Well, all the recent Apple chips...


That’s like five chips :P
