In 2018, new ARM mobile phone processors are expected on the market, which will be designed to power machines with technique intelligence (AI)
The company ARM presented at Computex last year a series of smartphones that focused on VR operations. As you will notice, however, AI technology is constantly gaining ground and is one of the major new trends in mobile this year. It's no surprise that ARM is pushing its processors in this direction.
First is the core of the Cortex-A75 processor, of which the company says that can deliver level performance laptop, without consuming more electrical power than existing mobile phone processors. ARM promises a 50 percent increase in performance over the older A73 core, which will be able to hold its own in AI and machine learning processes.
Meanwhile, the ARM CPU A55 is a little less interesting. It definitely looks like a capable upgrade, although it is said to be 2,5 times as effective at strength as the existing A53, a remarkable gain for a middle class CPU.
And then there's the new Mali-G72 graphics core, which comes to G71. ARM reports that the new GPU is 17 percent more effective in learning engineering processes than the processor it replaces. This is obviously great news for device makers who want to integrate more information into their mobiles, but do not forget that G72 can handle the needs of new games and VR applications.
The only downside to all these announcements? We should wait until 2018, when these processor cores will begin to be placed on devices that we can really buy.
