The next wave of processors from ARM is the Cortex A50 series offering 64-bit processing technology and greater energy efficiency than ever before. Apparently the Cortex-A57 and the Cortex A-53 are based on ARM v8 architecture and they are going to bring us two standout benefits – faster speed and greater power efficiency.
The Cortex-A57 is the headliner and it will deliver incredible performance without needing to suck down an obscene amount of power. The press release (in full below) describes it as offering “enhanced performance” which is “up to three times that of today’s superphones in the same power budget”. We are talking about “computer performance comparable to a legacy PC” here and that includes 32-bit and 64-bit processing.
The Cortex-A53 is all about conserving power and it’s the “world’s smallest 64-bit processor” capable of “delivering today’s superphone experience while using a quarter of the power”.
If you combine the two to take advantage of ARM’s big.LITTLE processing technology then you end up with an energy efficient system that has a huge performance range, switching between the A57 and A53 depending on demands.
Pretty exciting stuff, but the bad news is that they aren’t due to ship until 2014. Check out the full press release for more details.
