First Generation Armv9 High-Efficiency “LITTLE” Cortex CPU based on Arm DynamIQ Technology
Cortex-A510 is a high efficiency Armv9 CPU that is a ground up microarchitecture design with considerable performance improvements compared to Cortex-A55. Cortex-A510 can be paired with the Cortex-X2 and Cortex-A710 in a big.LITTLE configuration, with a dynamic shared unit (DSU-110) as part of a Total Compute solution.
Features and Benefits
Cortex-A510 provides up to 35% performance uplift on previous generation high efficiency CPUs.
Using merged-core microarchitecture, two CPU cores can be combined into a complex for dynamic performance at increased efficiency.
Uses 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).
