The ARM Cortex-A720 is a CPU core model from Arm unveiled in 2023. It serves as a successor to the ARM Cortex-A715.
Cortex-A700 CPU cores series focus on balanced performance and efficiency, and the CPU core can be paired with other cores in its family such as the high performance ARM Cortex-X4 or/and high efficiency ARM Cortex-A520 in a CPU cluster. It can be used as either "big" or "LITTLE".
Architecture changes in comparison with ARM Cortex-A715
Update to ARMv9.2 15% peak performance improvement over the Cortex-A715 Can down to same size as Cortex-A78 with 10% performance improvement Area optimize configuration for no area cost vs Cortex-A78 Down L2 cache hit latency to 9 cycles (from 10 cycles) Down mispredict latency to 11 cycles (from 12 cycles) x2 L2 bandwidth DSU-120 Up to 14 cores (up from 12 cores) Up to 32 MiB of shared L3 cache (increased from 16 MiB)
