Costs

Although ARM's license terms are covered by NDA, within the IP industry, ARM is widely known to be among the most expensive CPU cores.^{[citation needed]}

Do we have any source to back this up with? Also, most expensive in relation to what, per physical core, licence fees, price/performance? It would be interesting with a more throughout analysis, as it is now it doesn't make much sense and if it can't be expanded it should be removed.

Edit war on PS3 leap year issue.

I've removed the following section of the article: {{Quotation|

Most widely used

We have two sources for this statement:

The ARM architecture is the most widely used 32-bit instruction set architecture in numbers produced.

Both sources are ten years old. While I suspect the statment is still true, it would be nice to have an updated source. Kendall-K1 (talk) 17:16, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Architecture vs family

We throw around the term "family" without ever defining it. It would be nice to have some discussion of what a "family" is, especially since the naming convention (ARMv5 vs ARM5) is confusing. Kendall-K1 (talk) 18:00, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Article is way too technical to understand

I can't understand 90% of what the article's talking about, I feel as though it was written strictly for the IT crowd. Could someone simplify it for the average reader? Thanks. 70.55.109.152 (talk) 11:36, 6 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
