ARM Introduces Next-Generation GPUs And Processors For Phones And Wearables
ARM introduced its Total Compute Solutions 2023 at Computex 2023, which is the latest evolution of its complete IP solution line.
This includes various components including the CPU, GPU, etc., giving ARM customers full control over their chips’ IP blocks in their own facilities.
Immortalis G720
The newly introduced fifth-generation GPU architecture is Arm’s most powerful GPU to date and has been enhanced with the inclusion of Deferred Vertex Shading (DVS) technology. The flagship Immortalis G720 shows a remarkable 15% increase in performance and reduces memory bandwidth usage by 40%.
Mali G620
Alongside the G720, Arm also released the Mali-G620, aimed at the low-end market. With these new Mali GPUs, Arm has expanded its high-end graphics capability and brought it to a wider range of consumer devices.
MediaTek made a notable appearance at the launch event, showcasing its new Cortex-X4-based System-on-Chip (SoC) and Immortalis G720, which includes hardware ray tracing.
Cortex X4
ARM’s Cortex X4 has reached an important milestone by successfully completing the first tape release using TSMC’s N3E process. This latest cluster is Arm’s fastest yet, delivering an impressive 15% increase in performance and a remarkable 40% improvement in power efficiency.
Within the cluster, the Cortex-A720 proves to be the industry-leading CPU IP, serving as the engine for sustained performance. On the other hand, the Cortex-A520 represents the most powerful, highly efficient processor core ever developed by Arm.
These new CPU designs offer a remarkable 20% improvement in energy efficiency compared to previous generations and benefit a wide range of applications including AAA gaming, all-day productivity, and background tasks.
Based On Intel 18A
Interestingly, ARM has also hinted that its Cortex X4 will likely be based on Intel’s 18A technology. Stuart Pann, senior vice president and general manager of Intel Foundry Services (IFS), said:
The combination of cutting-edge Intel 18A technology with Arm’s latest and most powerful processor core, the Cortex-X4, will create opportunities for companies looking to develop the next generation of innovative mobile SoCs. Arm is a key partner in creating a complete foundry ecosystem for our customers around the world.
DSU 120
Finally, the new DSU-120 is Arm’s latest innovation in the form of a DynamIQ split unit. This advanced unit supports up to 14 processor cores in a single cluster, meeting the needs of multi-threaded applications in various use cases including handheld devices, smartphones, and laptops.
Now that the new hardware has been officially announced, we can expect to see it on phones and laptops later this year.
