Yes, the same way amd64 and i686 are.

"ARM" (since the release of AArch64 architecture) = 32bit ARM architecture, which goes from version/generation 2 (not sure what happened to v1) to ARM v7.

AArch64 is ARM's marketing name for their 64-bit architecture. They continued the generation/version line though, so the baseline AArch64 is named ARMv8.

Can't believe I have registered an account for this or the fact that I am necro-ing this thread but if anyone stumbles upon this message please consider this.
If you are having a bad day or are just generally insufferable to the point of leaving snarky answers to genuine questions, please refrain from posting. You can laugh and gloat all you want without the expense of making fun of the inexperienced publicly.
It's unfortunate enough that many online communities are filled with self-righteous individuals who provide unhelpful or condescending responses to genuine questions but you can help by simply just not typing or being genuine in general. Doing so will create an environment that lets people grow with no discouragement.

Wow! Where did all that venom come from? And in your first post too. I don't know who tinfoil3d is but the point he/she made is perfectly valid: namely that aarch64 and arm are related in precisely the same way as amd64 and i686. I don't detect any sarcasm there, it's a very helpful analogy. If I was the OP and had received that answer, I would think, "OK, now I understand."
