APSS is a set of CPUs organized into clusters. All CPU cores in a cluster operate at a similar frequency. Each CPU core in a cluster has a dedicated L1 and L2 cache.The CPU subsystem consists of three clusters and L3 cache as follows:
Figure : QCS6490/QCS5430 APSS CPU subsystem architecture
- Qualcomm® Kryo™ CPU Prime cluster, which has a performance CPU core
- Kryo Gold cluster, which has CPU cores with balanced power and performance
- Kryo Silver cluster, which has low power CPU cores for lightweight applications
- Common L3 cache

The CPU subsystem operates on two power domains, each supplied by a dedicated switched mode power supply (SMPS) rail. The following are the supported power domains:
