Arm aims Artemis at low power

By Jessica Lipsky,EETimes, AUSTIN, Texas, May. 30, 2016 – 

The 0.65 square millimeter Cortex-A73 is a new Armv8 microarchitecture that runs at up to 2.8 GHz and is designed as a big core in a big.LITTLE configuration. The core was used in Arm's recently announced 10nm FinFET test chip . Arm wouldn't confirm whether the test chip also used its new Mali-G71 graphics core.

The Cortex-A73 is foremost a premium SoC for mobile devices that require compute for ultra-high definition displays, augmented and virtual reality, 5G communications and greater than 20 megapixel cameras. It was also designed for use in set-top boxes and multi-function printers. These mobile devices and their mid-range counterparts are thinner and prone to thermal saturation that impedes performance.
