Hi ARM Community,
We are developing a commercial embedded Linux product (HMI machine)using a Cortex-A application processor with the following workload:
- Qt/QML based touch UI (animations, transitions)- HD video playback (1080p)- Cloud application (MQTT, TLS, OTA updates)- Continuous background logging- 24x7 operation
We are evaluating three options:- Cortex-A17- Cortex-A55- Cortex-A72
Our concern is choosing a core that can reliably handle UI + cloud +video simultaneously without UI lag or cloud instability.
From our initial analysis, Cortex-A72 appears more suitable due tohigher single-core performance and out-of-order execution, whileA55 seems optimized for efficiency and A17 is older architecture.
We would appreciate guidance from ARM experts on:1. Which core is most suitable for this workload?2. Is Cortex-A55 sufficient for such multitasking workloads?3. Is Cortex-A17 still recommended for new designs?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
