CPU
4 × ARM Cortex A53
- 8-stage pipelined processor with 2-way superscalar, in-order execution pipeline
- DSP and NEON SIMD extensions are mandatory per core
- VFPv4 Floating Point Unit onboard (per core)
- Hardware virtualization support
- TrustZone security extensions
- 64-byte cache lines
- 10-entry L1 TLB, and 512-entry L2 TLB
- 4 KiB conditional branch predictor, 256-entry indirect branch predictor
AArch64 features[edit]
- New instruction set, A64
- Has 31 general-purpose 64-bit registers.
- Has dedicated zero or stack pointer (SP) register (depending on instruction).
- The program counter (PC) is no longer directly accessible as a register.
- Instructions are still 32 bits long and mostly the same as A32 (with LDM/STM instructions and most conditional execution dropped).
- Has paired loads/stores (in place of LDM/STM).
- No predication for most instructions (except branches).
- Most instructions can take 32-bit or 64-bit arguments.
- Addresses assumed to be 64-bit.
- Advanced SIMD (NEON) enhanced
- Has 32 × 128-bit registers (up from 16), also accessible via VFPv4.
- IEEE 754 compliant double-precision floating point.
- AES encrypt/decrypt and SHA-1/SHA-2 hashing instructions also use these registers.
