코어텍스-A8은 ARMv7 구조/아키텍쳐 기반의 프로세서이다.
300mW의 소비전력과 600Mhz~1Ghz의 클럭을 지원하며 2000 DMIPS의 프로그램을 처리할수 있다.
라고 해석하면 되려나?

Cortex-A8 Processor

The ARM Cortex™-A8 processor is based on the ARMv7 architecture and has the ability to scale in speed from 600MHz to greater than 1GHz. The Cortex-A8 processor can meet the requirements for power-optimized mobile devices needing operation in less than 300mW; and performance-optimized consumer applications requiring 2000 Dhrystone MIPS.

머.. 갑자기 Cortex가 떨어진건 아니고 Cortex-M 시리즈도 있었군

ARM9은 ARMv9이 아니라 ARMv5 기반의 프로세서이다.
현재까지는 ARMv7가 가장 최신 아키텍쳐인것으로 보이며
결론은 ARM7과 ARMv7은 천지차이(결론이 이상해!)

DMIPS / Dhrystone MIPS
Dhrystone is a synthetic computing benchmark program developed in 1984 by Reinhold P. Weicker intended to be representative of system (integer) programming. The Dhrystone grew to become representative of general processor (CPU) performance until it was superseded by the CPU89 benchmark suite from the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation, today known as the "SPECint" suite. The name is a pun on a different benchmark algorithm called Whetstone.

The Dhrystone benchmark contains no floating point operations, thus the name is a pun on the then-popular Whetstone benchmark for floating point operations. The output from the benchmark is the number of Dhrystones per second (the number of iterations of the main code loop per second).
