why there are 4 cores per cluster in ARMV8 architecture

RadarSong

Hi experts,

I want to knows why there are 4 core cores per cluster in ARM big.Littte architecture?

Is it possiable if we make more cores per cluster? if not, what is the limitation?

    It's also worth noting that you can have more than two clusters of cores; nothing in the AXI specification limits you to 2, and similarly there are no restrictions on what those clusters are. If you have a design where you want an 8-core Cortex-A53 you could implement multiple clusters of Cortex-A53s to achieve that, for example.

    Cheers,
    Pete
