Qualcomm's Kryo[1] is the brand name of a series of custom or semi-custom ARM-based CPUs. These CPUs implement the ARMv8-A 64-bit instruction set, and serve as the successor to the older 32-bit Krait core.

Kryo

First announced in September 2015 and used in the Snapdragon 820 SoC.[2] The Kryo cores can be used in both parts of the big.LITTLE configuration, where two dual-core clusters (in the case of Snapdragon 820 and 821) run at different clock frequency, similar to how both Cortex-A53 clusters work in the Snapdragon 615.

The Kryo in the 820/821 is a in house custom ARMv8.0-A (AArch64/AArch632) design and not based on an ARM Cortex design.

  • 820: 2x Kryo Performance @ 2.15GHz + 2x Kryo Efficiency @ 1.59GHz
  • 821: 2x Kryo Performance @ 2.34GHz + 2x Kryo Efficiency @ 2.19GHz
  • 32 KiB L1i + 32 KiB L1d cache[3]
  • 1 MiB L2 cache (Performance cluster) and 512 KiB L2 cache for (Efficiency cluster)
  • Samsung 14nm LPP Process
  • Performance core+L2 die size: 2.79mm2[4]

Kryo 2xx Series

The Kryo 2xx Series CPUs is not a derivative of the original Kryo microarchitecture, but rather is a semi-custom design licensed under ARM’s "Built on ARM Cortex Technology" (BoC) . The Kryo 2xx Series CPUs is derivative of the ARM's Cortex-A73 for the Performance/Gold cluster and Cortex-A53 for the Efficiency/Silver cluster in a big.LITTLE arrangement.[5]

Kryo 280

The Kryo 280 CPU was announced along with the Snapdragon 835 Mobile Platform in November 2016.[6] Compared to the orginal Kryo the new Kryo 280 core has improved integer instructions per clock but lower floating point instructions per clock.[5] However overall the 835 was prasied by reviewers for offering significant performance and efficiency advantage compared to the 820 and Exynos 8895 largely due to improvements in CPU scheduling and DVFS systems.[7]

  • 835: 4x Kryo 280 Performance @ 2.45GHz + 4x Kryo 280 Efficiency @ 1.90GHz
  • 2 MiB L2 cache (performance cluster) and 1 MiB L2 cache (efficiency cluster)
  • Samsung 10nm LPE Process

Kryo 260

The Kryo 260 CPU was announced along with the Snapdragon 660 Mobile Platform for mid-range smartphone in May 2017.[8] The Kryo 260 is also used in the Snapdragon 630, Snapdragon 636, and Snapdragon 665.

  • 665: 4x Kryo 260 Gold @ 2.0GHz + 4x Kryo 260 Silver @ 1.8GHz
  • 660: 4x Kryo 260 Performance@ 2.2GHz + 4x Kryo 260 Efficiency @ 1.8GHz
  • 636: 4x Kryo 260 Performance/Gold @ 1.8GHz + 4x Kryo 260 Efficiency/Silver @ 1.6GHz
  • 630: 4x Kryo 260 Performance @ 2.2GHz + 4x Kryo 260 Efficiency @ 1.8GHz
  • 2 MiB L2 cache (Performance/Gold) and 1 MiB L2 cache (Efficiency/Silver)
  • 660/636/636: Samsung 14LPP Process[9]
  • 665: Samsung 11nm LPP Process[10]

Kryo 250

Kryo 250 CPU was introduced in the Snapdragon 632 Mobile Platform , announced in June 2018.[11] Also built on a 14 nm process, it is similar to Kryo 260, with a few differences in the size for L2 cache. Qualcomm claims it has an increased performance of 40% compared to the Snapdragon 625, which only uses Cortex-A53 cores.

Kryo 3xx Series

The Kryo 3xx Series CPUs features semi-custom Gold and Silver cores derivative of Arm's Cortex-A75 and Cortex-A55 respectively, arranged in configurations with DynamIQ.[12] These are Qualcomm's first CPUs to support ARMv8.2-A and DynamIQ. DynamIQ allows for more flexibility in CPU configuratoin including the amounts of cores/cache in each CPU clusters.

Kryo 385

The Kryo 385 core was announced as a part of the Snapdragon 845 in December 2017. Qualcomm expected 25–30% increased performance in task run on the high-performance cores, and 15% increase on efficiency cores, relative to the Snapdragon 835.[13] Testing found significant advantages in performance and efficiency compared with the Exynos 8895 and 9810.[14] The Kryo 385 is also used in the Snapdragon 850.

  • 845: 4x Kryo 385 Gold @ 2.8GHz + 4x Kryo 385 Silver @ 1.8GHz
