The Future of Compute, Reimagined
Arm DynamIQ technology redefines the multicore experience from edge to cloud across a secure, common computing platform. Arm CPUs power the incredible experiences in personal devices today, transforming how we live, work, travel, learn, and play. DynamIQ technology takes high-performance, energy-efficient CPUs to the next level.
DynamIQ is powering the next wave of innovation through unprecedented design flexibility and more compute processing for intelligent solutions. It combines big and LITTLE CPUs into a single, fully integrated cluster. The result is many new and enhanced benefits in power and performance for all devices, including wearables, XR, mobile devices, large-screen compute, automotive, and infrastructure.
The Arm DynamIQ Shared Unit also enables the split-lock capability in Arm Automotive Enhanced (AE) CPUs. Built for functional safety use cases, the AE variants of the DynamIQ Shared Unit enable post-silicon flexibility for AE CPUs to switch between split, hybrid, and lock operating modes. This makes the AE CPU cluster suitable for a broad range of safety standards, including quality management (QM), ISO 26262 ASIL B or ASIL D, or IEC 61508 SIL 3. It also enables an approach of “design once, use across many applications” for silicon designers.

Features and Benefits
As performance demands increase from artificial intelligence and machine learning, so does the need for efficiency. Boasting a powerful combination of advanced compute capabilities, flexible design options, and smart power-saving features, DynamIQ helps accelerate future innovations.
DynamIQ is a new single cluster design with a mix of up to 14 different processors that unleashes configuration options never achieved before. This flexibility, combined with performance scalability, enables a virtually unlimited design spectrum for a wide range of purpose-built solutions.
Arm DynamIQ technology redefines multicore computing through combining big and LITTLE CPUs into a single, fully integrated cluster with many new and enhanced benefits in power and performance across devices—from mobile to software-defined vehicles.
DynamIQ technology has built-in intelligent power-management features to help computing solutions run at optimal efficiency. Fine-tuned CPU speed control, fast power-switching modes (on/sleep/off), and partial memory sub-system power-down, all significantly reduce power consumption for any solution.
Safety is critical – whether for cars driving themselves or robots working in the factory. DynamIQ technology supports safety-critical automotive and industrial systems by allowing systems to operate safely under failure. With increased responsiveness for safety-critical decision making, DynamIQ delivers uncompromised performance for advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) solutions. This means improved safety for workplaces, roads, and cities.
In a busy world, information must be delivered quickly, providing instant responses for all digital experiences. DynamIQ enables a new framework that allows the CPUs to share the memory sub-system. This significantly reduces latency and improves responsiveness for running applications, delivering a fluid experience across all devices.
When computing takes place on devices, rather than in the cloud, data can be processed faster and more securely. DynamIQ technology has dedicated advanced processing instructions for AI, so more information stays on the device, increasing privacy and security. Plus, DynamIQ integrates seamlessly with accelerators through a new dedicated port that delivers a significantly increased response time, enhancing the user experience.
