Arm Cortex A73 Officially Arrives With More Processing Overhead And Better Efficiency Techworm
Anandtech reports that Cortex-A73 possesses the same CPU design as the Cortex-A17, only this time, ARM has decided to focus on one thing; power efficiency. Poorly designed chipsets have let to consuming a large amount of power, ranging between 5-10 watts. This is completely unacceptable, and ARM is on a mission to make sure that sustained peak performance is not lost. When a processor present inside a chipset is running at its highest frequency, the temperature rise causes the processor to throttle and prevent it from continuing to run at its highest speed to keep the thermals under the safe zone....
