| | The Thumb Architecture Extension |
 | | The Thumb architecture is supported by a complete Windows software development environment as well as development and evaluation cards. | | | On execution, these 16-bit instructions are decompressed transparently to full 32-bit ARM instructions in real time without performance loss. | | | This means that program memory can be smaller and hence cost reduced. |

| | Thumb - Dictionary Definition and Meaning of Thumb |
| | Careful design of the Thumb instructions allow them to be decompressed into full ARM instructions transparently during normal instruction decoding without any performance penalty. | | | Since this Thumb instruction set uses less memory for program storage, cost is further reduced. | | | This differs from other 32-bit processors, like the Intel 486SX, with a 16-bit data bus, which require two 16-bit memory accesses to execute every 32-bit instruction and so halve performance. |

| | Introduction to ARM thumb |
| | When it's operating in the Thumb state, the processor simply expands the smaller shorthand instructions fetched from memory into their 32-bit equivalents. | | | Every Thumb instruction could instead be executed via the equivalent 32-bit ARM instruction. | | | This bit can be used, for example, by an operating system to manually restart a task in the Thumb state—if that's how it was running previously. |
