Yeah but they clock like poo. The area is also poo.

If my poo starts to clock then I'll be in more trouble than I already am with 3x cellulitis in my legs 😅

all they need to do is work on clock frequency at this point.

That's actually the way-harder part.
Clocking high IPC cores up without area and power exploding is real tough.

Geekbench users will be happy, not sure if anyone else will notice.

I think Apple will focus more on uarch this year. If there was a year to do it for them it’s this year.

I'm sure PR departments will be.

Now they can add another half dozen AI's to their presentations 😂😆😩😭

That is a question I made, the reason is that there is already A320.

Cortex-A320 | Armv9 IoT Processor Excels in AI, Efficiency, and Security

The Arm Cortex-A320 CPU, an ultra-efficient Armv9 processor, powers secure, high-performance IoT platforms with advanced AI acceleration and efficiency.

A320 is like the v9-A equivalent to A5 in the v7-A generation, or A32 in the v8-A generation.

It's meant to be the lowest power core possible without dropping to microcontrollers which AFAIK have a reduced or different featureset.

A320 is likely to go into wearables and higher power embedded use cases, while A5xx is (post A7xx efficiency core branding) for STBs, streaming dongles etc.

They aren't intended for the same markets, so A3xx µArch has nothing to do with A5xx beyond likely being a baseline before it was stripped down to bare minimum in area/power while retaining as much IPC as possible.
