ARM has announced Cortex A53 and A57 in the Cortex A50 series based on ARMv8 architecture. These energy-efficient processors with 64-bit processing technology are also fully compatible with the extensive ARM 32-bit ARMv7 ecosystem. These processors would offer better performance compared to the existing ones and would offer new features ranging from gesture control, augmented reality, mobile gaming, web 2.0 and more.
Both these processors have new power saving features such as retention modes and more extensive hierarchical clock that would automatically save power when all or a particular portion of the processor is idle. These are based on big.LITTLE Processing with high performance with power efficiency. It would support up to 16 cores with more in the future.
ARM says that the Cortex-53 processor is their most efficient application processor ever that would offer all-day battery life for typical device uses. It would offer better performance than the Cortex-A9 processors.
