| Succession | |
Exynos Mongoose 4 (M4) is the successor to the Mongoose 3, an 8 nm ARM microarchitecture designed by Samsung for their consumer electronics.
Process Technology
The M4 is fabricated on Samsung's 8 nm process (8LPP).
Compiler support
| Compiler | Arch-Specific | Arch-Favorable |
|---|---|---|
| GCC | -mcpu=exynos-m4 |

Architecture
The M4 is an incremental microarchitecture that brought a die shrink and minor enhancements.
Key changes from M3
- 8 nm process (from 10 nm)
- ARMv8.2 (from ARMv8)
- Support for full FP16 scalar extension
- Suppot for integer dot product extension
- Front end
- Larger instruction queue (48 entries, up from 40)
- Back end
- LSU reorganized
- Floating-point execution units reorganized
