ARM Launches Cortex-A50 Series, the World’s Most

ARM Launches Cortex-A50 Series, the World’s Most Energy-Efficient 64-bit Processors

ARM Cortex-A53 processor:

The most efficient ARM application processor ever, delivering today’s superphone experience while using a quarter of the power
Incorporates reliability features that enable scalable dataplane applications to maximize performance per mm²and performance per mW
Optimized for throughput processing for modest per thread compute applications
The Cortex-A53 processor combined with the Cortex-A57 and big.LITTLE processing technology will enable platforms with extreme performance range while radically reducing the energy consumption

ARM and members of the ARM Connected Community® are collaborating to develop a robust 64-bit software ecosystem. The ARM Compiler and ARM Fast Models have supported the ARMv8 architecture since it was announced in October 2011, and are used extensively by public launch licensees of the Cortex-A50 processor series. This functionality is now complemented with support for bare metal and Linux debug in the ARM Development Studio 5 (DS-5™). In addition, open source operating systems, applications and third-party tools are already in development. This is a natural extension to the broad ecosystem already in place that supports existing ARMv7 architecture-based devices.

Availability: The ARM partnership is expected to ship Cortex-A50 series-based chips in 2014. ARMv8 open source operating system, toolchains and foundation models are now available at www.arm.com/products/processors/instruction-set-architectures/armv8-architecture
