ARM Cortex-A53
Designed by ARM Holdings
Microarchitecture ARMv8-A
Cores 1–4 per cluster

The ARM Cortex-A53 is a microarchitecture implementing the ARMv8-A 64-bit instruction set designed by ARM Holdings. The Cortex-A53 is a superscalar processor capable of dual-issuing some instructions.[1] It is available as SIP core to licensees, and is marketed by ARM as either a stand-alone, more energy-efficient alternative to the more powerful Cortex-A57 microarchitecture, or to be used alongside a more powerful microarchitecture in a big.LITTLE configuration.

Overview

  • 8-stage pipelined processor with 2-way superscalar 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 Kb conditional branch predictor, 256-entry indirect branch predictor
