Its seems like it was only yesterday when we announced the ARM Cortex-A73, the most power-efficient high-performance Cortex application processor to date. Today we can see Cortex-A73 in production, powering cutting-edge devices in the mobile and consumer world. Silicon vendors have combined it with the Cortex-A53 in big.LITTLE configurations. The combination of Cortex-A73 and Cortex-A53 delivers excellent performance with great battery life, so you can use your devices all day. This lets designers and OEMs create products in the slimmest form factors available on the market today.

This combination of efficiency and performance, combined with the work of OS and app developers in the mobile ecosystem, has brought great new use cases: using your phone to immerse yourself in a world of augmented or virtual reality, shooting DSLR-like photos or turning your smartphone into a fully-fledged desktop computer using a compact docking station. These and other performance-intensive use cases have created strong and increasing demand for more compute performance. In response, mobile SoC performance has skyrocketed in recent years, and we don’t see it stopping or slowing down.

Today we are announcing two new processors – the Cortex-A75 high-performance processor and Cortex-A55 high-efficiency processor to deliver the performance upgrade needed for your devices:
