10 nano meters =1 × 10-8 meters
A system on a chip or system on chip (SoC or SOC) is an integrated circuit (IC) that integrates all components of a computer or other electronic system into a single chip.
28nm technology delivers twice the gate density of the 40nm process and also features an SRAM cell size shrink of 50 percent.
ARM, originally Acorn Risc Machine, is a family of reduced instruction set computing (RISC) instruction set architectures for computer processors, configured for various environments, developed by British company ARM Holdings.
This approach reduces costs, heat and power use. Such reductions are desirable traits for light, portable, battery-powered devices—?including smartphones, laptops, tablet and notepad computers, and other embedded systems

ARMv6 is aimed at the very low end of the 32-bit microcontroller space, enabling very low gate-count designs with very simple and highly efficient micro architecture. Several features of ARMv7 are not available to enable this simplicity. The following is a summary of the major changes:
The ARMv6-M instruction set is the smallest supported by any ARM processors, numbering just 57 distinct instructions. With the exception of 6 OS-type instructions, all are 16-bit.
Privileged execution is an implementation-option (meaning that it may be included or excluded from the device during the chip design process). This is referred to as the “Unprivileged/Privileged Extension”
The SysTick timer is an implementation-option.
The maximum number of external interrupts is limited to 32 and only four priority levels are available.
Halting debug support is optional.
Memory accesses must always be naturally aligned.
Exclusive accesses are not supported.
The Memory Protection Unit is available as an implementation-option (the PMSA Extension). It is currently supported only by the Cortex-M0+.
ARMv7-M supports only the Thumb-2 instruction set. Coupled with a simple two-mode programmer’s model, privilege (which does not have to be used at run-time) and a very simple register banking scheme, this makes for very compact and efficient designs
ARMv7-M adding a set of saturating and SIMD instructions
ARMv7E-M is currently supported by the Cortex-M4 processor. It builds on ARMv7-M adding a set of saturating and SIMD instructions. This (called the “DSP extension”) significantly increases the capability of the core in DSP applications. These instructions cover operations like signed and unsigned saturated arithmetic, byte and halfword packing/unpacking, dual 16-bit and quad 8-bit operations, and extended halfword multiply-accumulate.
There is a further variant of the Cortex-M4 which includes the “Floating-point extension”. Incorporating a further group of instructions for single-precision floating point, these are supported by the addition of an FPU to the standard Cortex-M4. These instructions operate on an extended register bank of 32 single-precision registers and provide single-precision floating point arithmetic, comparison, data transfer between the extension registers, core registers and memory. Of course, the standard Cortex-M4, without the FPU extension, can still handle floating point arithmetic in software but this will take longer and require extra code.
The low power (LP) process is the first available 28nm technology. It is ideal for low standby power applications such as cellular baseband. The 28LP process boasts a 20 percent speed improved over the 40LP process at the same leakage/gate
cache memory is a high speed memory kept in between processor and RAM to increase the data execution speed. It is kept near to the processor. There are different levels of cache. L1-cache is the fastest cache and it usually comes within the processor chip itself. The L1 cache typically ranges in size from 8KB to 64KB and uses the high-speed SRAM (static RAM) instead of the slower and cheaper DRAM (dynamic RAM) used for main memory. The Intel Celeron processor uses two separate 16KB L1 caches, one for the instructions and one for the data. L2 cache comes between L1 and RAM(processor-L1-L2-RAM) and is bigger than the primary cache (typically 64KB to 4MB). L3 cache is not found nowadays as its function is replaced by L2 cache. L3 caches are found on the motherboard rather than the processor. It is kept between RAM and L2 cache. So if your system has L1,L2 and L3 cache data fetching will be L1->L2->L3->RAM ie. If data is not there in L1 it will check L2 then L3 then RAM..
