Exynos M4 (Cheetah) is the successor to the M3, an 8 nm ARM microarchitecture designed by Samsung for their consumer electronics.
Contents
Process Technology[edit]
The M4 is fabricated on Samsung's 8 nm process (8LPP).
Compiler support[edit]
Compiler | Arch-Specific | Arch-Favorable |
---|---|---|
GCC | -mcpu=exynos-m4 |

|
Architecture[edit]
The M4 is an incremental microarchitecture that brought a die shrink and minor enhancements.
Key changes from M3[edit]
- 8 nm process (from 10 nm)
- ARMv8.2 (from ARMv8)
- Support for full FP16 scalar extension
- Support for integer dot product extension
- Front end
- Larger instruction queue (48 entries, up from 40)
- Back end
- LSU execution units reorganized
- Floating-point execution units reorganized
This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

Core[edit]
The core of the M4 is largely the same as M3. A number of buffers have been enlarged and some of the execution units have been reorganized.
Execution engine[edit]
Floating-point cluster[edit]
The execution units on the M4 have been reorganized. In total, three new units were also added - a second FP square root unit, a second vector multiplication unit, and a new horizontal vector arithmetic unit.
Memory subsystem[edit]
Samsung also made an enhancement to the M4 memory subsystem. In the M3, there were three AGUs - two dedicated Load AGUs and a single dedicated Store AGU. In the M4, Samsung changed one of the dedicated Load AGUs into a generic AGU capable of handling both loads and stores. In other words, the M4 can now schedule both load and store µOPs on two ports.
