Mito8M is the first DAVE Embedded Systems' product system-on-module (SoM) 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 width SDRAM banks. When dealing with computationally heavy tasks, this factor may turn out to be a severe bottleneck limiting the overall performance.

Beside Besides an intrinsic increased computational powerover their predecessors, ARMv8-A-based SoC's are also expected to improve significantly RAM bandwidth as wellsignificantly. This technical note (TN for short) illustrates several benchmarking tests that were run on Mito8M SoM, which . It is worth to remember that this product is built upon the [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 Quadprocessor by NXP].
