==Introduction==
Mito8M is the first DAVE Embedded Systems' product based on a core implementing the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture#64/32-bit_architecture ARMv8-A] architecture. Traditionally, ARM cores that are based on 32-bit [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_architecture#AArch32 ARMv7-A] architecture exhibit a limited RAM bandwidth even if they are coupled with 64-bit witdh SDRAM banks. When dealing with computationally heavy tasks, this factor may turn out to be a severe bottleneck limiting the overall performance.
Beside an intrinsic increased computational power, ARMv8-A-based SoC's are expected to improve significantly RAM bandwidth as well. This technical note (TN for short) illustrates several benchmarking tests that were run on Mito8M SoM, which is built upon [https://www.nxp.com/products/processors-and-microcontrollers/arm-processors/i.mx-applications-processors/i.mx-8-processors/i.mx-8m-family-armcortex-a53-cortex-m4-audio-voice-video:i.MX8M NXP i.MX8M Quad].
