ARM 64-bit Cortex-A50 serves single-processor or multicore apps

摘要

Arm Ltd's 64-bit Cortex-A50 processor series comprises the Cortex-A57, targeting high-performance applications, and the Cortex-A53, ARM's most power-efficient application processor. The cores offer higher performance for ARMv7 32-bit code in the AArch32 execution state while also supporting 64-bit data and larger virtual addressing space in the AArch64 execution state. Accordingly, ARM expects the Cortex-A50 processor series to drive a seamless transition from 32- to 64-bit applications and to offer scalability for emerging mobile-computing clients and future "superphones." The processors can operate both in single-processor configurations and in ARM's multicore, big.
