Cortex A65

Back in September, Arm had announced the new Cortex A76AE CPU with focus on automotive applications. Today, Arm adds to its portfolio by formally announcing a next gen processor with simultaneous multithreading, the new Cortex A65AE. The previously announced A76AE CPU was Arm’s first to feature the “split-lock” technology that allowed two CPU cores to operate in a configurable lock-step operation mode, allowing the units to process tasks in parallel to each other and compare results for discrepancies – achieving a required level of functional safety of the software that is run on the system. The Cortex A76AE was pretty much focused on heavy compute tasks and thus also fully takes advantage of the new high performance that is delivered by Arm’s new microarchitecture that came...
