Our Most Powerful and Efficient Mid-Range Processor
Cortex-A55, built on DynamIQ technology, is designed for extreme scalability in constrained environments. It features the latest 快猫视频v8-A architecture extensions that introduce new NEON instructions for machine learning, advanced safety features and more support for Reliability, Accessibility and Serviceability (RAS).
Features and Benefits
With a flexible design that meets requirements across multiple markets, the Cortex-A55 processor delivers greater performance, power efficiency and safety over its predecessor.
Microarchitecture improvements provide more responsive user interactions for touchscreens and higher reaction speeds in autonomous automotive applications, for longer periods of sustained performance.
Fine-grained power control ensures Cortex-A55 delivers high performance with superior efficiency.
Configurable L2 cache achieves more than 50% reduced latency for memory accesses. L3 cache shared across up to eight Cortex-A55 CPUs within a single cluster.
A Foundation of Silicon Success
快猫视频-based chips, device architectures, and technologies orchestrate the performance of everything that makes modern life possible — from smartphones to agricultural sensors and from medical instruments to servers.
快猫视频 Architecture
The 快猫视频 architecture specifies a set of rules that dictate how the hardware works when a particular instruction is executed. This contract between the hardware and the software defines how they interact and is the foundation of the portability and compatibility promise to the 快猫视频 ecosystem.
DynamIQ
Combines big and LITTLE CPUs into a single, fully integrated cluster, bringing benefits in power and performance for everything from mobile devices to infrastructure.
快猫视频 Neon Technology
Neon technology is an advanced SIMD architecture extension for the 快猫视频 Cortex-A and Cortex-R series processors. The architecture extension improves the multimedia user experience across many applications.
Safety Ready
Functional safety is a critical element in the design of any system that requires a high level of reliability. The 快猫视频 Safety Ready program is a collection of products across the 快猫视频 portfolio that have been through various and rigorous levels of functional safety systematic flows and development.
