All the new cores only support the A64 instruction set (no longer
A32/T32), which ties in with what we have been discussing recently.

The X4 is now ten-wide with 8 ALU operations, 3 branches, and 4 loads
or stores (up to 3 loads and up to 2 stores) per cycle.

The A520 now removes an ALU compared to the A510. There is no mention
of reducing the front-end width, though, so the A520 might still be
three-wide. That's an interesting deviation from common practice,
where in recent times, if in-order was used at all, it was usually at
most two-wide, and when more performance was desired (e.g., for
Intel's small cores), the designers switched to OoO.
