Errrm, that seems to be full of errors.
There isn't an "ARMv9" processor.
The ARMv6 instruction set is a 32 bit instruction set used on older processors,
primarily the ARM11 (note, not "A11" or ARMv11). This instruction set
is used on the Raspberry Pi.
The ARMv7 instruction set is a 32 bit instruction set used in a wide range of
recent processors. Specific implementations include the A7, A8, A9, and A15
processors from ARM Holdings, the cores in Apple A6 (somewhat like the A15
implementation, but apparently Apple designed) and the Qualcomm Krait (also
similar to the A15 in performance).
The ARMv8 instruction set is a 64 bit instruction set. Nvidia's "Project
Denver" was the first announced implementation. ARM Holdings has announced
implementations that will be called "A50 series" e.g. A57. Only early
prototype partial implementations are currently available.
Various companies has put forth marketing names that are deliberately
misleading. For instance the "Allwinner A10" processor actually uses
A8 cores, which are less advanced than the A9 or A15.
