In October last year, ARM introduced the 64-bit processor Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53, which in the future will replace the existing solutions. In addition, support for 64-bit instructions to open a new way for processors to ARM industry: Samsung, for example, is considering using Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53 in their own solutions for servers.
British holding company together with TSMC experts prepeared the description of CPU Cortex-A57 at register transfer level (RTL) for the technology to the topological rules of 16 nm. On the base of these data later obtained a mask for making chips.
It is assumed that a system based on single-chip processor cores Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53 will be manufactured on 16-nm process using transistor FinFET.
