What is recorded here?
Designed the first ARM processor around a compact 32-bit instruction set and a simple pipelined microarchitecture, producing a low-transistor-count implementation that established the architecture family’s initial technical form.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the 1985 ARM1 processor design attributed to Sophie Wilson and Steve Furber. Acorn management, VLSI physical implementation, companion chips, later ARM versions and the wider commercial architecture family retain separate attribution.
