First-Generation Armv9 “big” Cortex CPU Based on Arm DynamIQ Technology
Cortex-A710 provides the best balance of performance and efficiency through enhanced micro-architectural features designed in a power efficient manner. Cortex-A710 can be paired with the Cortex-X2 and Cortex-A510 in a big.LITTLE configuration, with a DynamIQ Shared Unit (DSU-110) as part of a Total Compute solution.
Features and Benefits
Draws on efficiency optimizations of all aspects of the microarchitecture to be 30% more power efficient than Cortex-A78.
Provides a 10% uplift in performance compared to Cortex-A78.
Based on Armv9 architecture for mobile computing and introduces key features for performance, power efficiency, and security: Scalable Vector Extension version two (SVE2) and Memory Tagging Extension (MTE).
