The ARM Cortex-A710 is the successor to the ARM Cortex-A78, being the First-Generation Armv9 “big” Cortex CPU. It is the companion to the ARM Cortex-A510 "LITTLE" efficiency core. It was designed by ARM Ltd.'s Austin centre.^[1] It is the fourth and last iteration of Arm’s Austin core family.^[1] It forms part of Arm's Total Compute Solutions 2021 (TCS21) along with Arm's Cortex-X2, Cortex-A510, Mali-G710 and CoreLink CI-700/NI-700.^[2]

The processor implements the following changes:

• Rename / Dispatch width: 5 (decreased from 6).
• 10-cycle pipeline (decreased from 11).
• One of only two ARMv9 cores to support EL0 AArch32, along with the ARM Cortex-A510.

Improvements:

• 30% more power efficient than Cortex-A78.
• 10% uplift in performance compared to Cortex-A78^[3]
• 2x ML uplift^[4]

Usage

• MediaTek Dimensity 9000/9000+^[5]
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1^[6]
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2^[7]
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 8/8+ Gen 1^[8]
