Succession

Cortex-A53 (formerly Apollo) is an ultra-high efficiency microarchitecture designed by ARM Holdings as a successor to the Cortex-A7. The Cortex-A53, which implemented the ARMv8 ISA, is typically found in entry-level smartphone and other embedded devices. Often A53 cores are combined with higher performance processors (e.g. based on Cortex-A57 or Cortex-A72) in big.LITTLE configuration to achieve better energy/performance.

Note that this microarchitecture is designed as a synthesizable IP core and is sold to other semiconductor companies to be implemented in their own chips.

Note that for big.LITTLE system it's possible specify more specific performance tunes:

  • -mtune=cortex-a57.cortex-a53
  • -mtune=cortex-a72.cortex-a53
  • -mtune=cortex-a73.cortex-a53
