The ARM Cortex-A720 is a CPU core model from Armcite-ref-1[1]cite-ref-2[2] unveiled in 2023.cite-ref-3[3] It serves as a successor to the ARM Cortex-A715.cite-ref-4[4]

Cortex-A700 CPU cores series focus on balanced performance and efficiency, and the CPU core can be paired with other cores in its family such as the high performance ARM Cortex-X4 or/and high efficiency ARM Cortex-A520cite-ref-5[5] in a CPU cluster. It can be used as either "big" or "LITTLE".cite-ref-0-6-0[6]
