Architecture changes in comparison with ARM Cortex-X1
The processor implements the following changes:[3][4][5]
- 10 cycle pipeline down from 11, created by reducing the dispatch stage from 2 cycles to 1
- reorder buffer increased by 30% from 224 entries to 288
- dTLB increased by 20% from 40 entries to 48
- SVE2 SIMD support
- Bfloat16 data type support
- Support for Aarch32 removed
- Comparing the Cortex-X2 with 8MB of L3 cache to the Cortex-X1 with 4MB of L3 cache:
- 16% greater integer performance
- 100% greater ML performance
Usage
- MediaTek Dimensity 9000/9000+[6]
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 8/8+ Gen 1[7]
- Samsung Exynos 2200[8]
