ARM Cortex-A50 系列应用处理器重点分析

Using ARM's big.LITTLE technology the Cortex-A53 processor will efficiently run your connected life. This connected life will not just be the social media, news and email updates that you receive today, but will also enable devices to be contextually aware and connect to the Internet of things. Contextual awareness is already happening in smartphones today, but with the Cortex-A53 processor 's ultra-efficiency it will allow your smartphone to use its sensor information, calendar, contact information and location-based services to provide relevant information. This processor can deliver the compute power of today's high-end smartphone, in lowest power and area footprint, enabling all-day battery life for typical device uses. Cortex-A53 efficiently runs legacy ARM 32-bit applications Cortex-A53 features cache coherent interoperability with ARM Mali family graphics processing units (GPUs) for GPU compute applications Cortex-A53 connects seamlessly to ARM interconnect with up to 16 cores onfigurations with more in the future Cortex-A53 offers optional reliability and scalability features for high-performance enterprise applications
