The cortex a15 processor is a high performance processor that implements the armv7 a architecture which can be paired with the cortex a7 processor in a big little configuration for mobile applications.

We re now starting to get quite a few players with arm cortex a15 cores on the market as well as some with arm cortex a17. The first a15 designs came out in the autumn of 2011 but products based on the chip did not reach the market until 2012. Nvidia and samsung both utilize cores designed by arm while qualcomm and apple build their own cores using arm s instruction set.
