The ARM Cortex-A55 is a microarchitecture implementing the ARMv8.2-A 64-bit instruction set designed by ARM Holdings. The Cortex-A55 is an in-order superscalar pipeline.

The Cortex-A55 serves as the successor of the ARM Cortex-A53, designed to improve performance and energy efficiency over the A53. ARM has stated the A55 should have 15% improved power efficiency and 18% increase performance relative to the A53. Memory access and branch prediction are also improved relative to the A53.

The Cortex-A75 and Cortex-A55 cores are the first products to support ARM's Dynamiq technology. The successor to big.LITTLE, this technology is designed to be more flexible and scalable when designing multi-core products.

The Cortex-A55 is available as SIP core to licensees, and its design makes it suitable for integration with other SIP cores (e.g. GPU, display controller, DSP, image processor, etc.) into one die constituting a system on a chip (SoC).
