At the Computex 2023 event, Arm unveiled Total Compute Solutions 2023, the latest advancement in its comprehensive IP solution lineup.
ARM comprehensive IP solution
This includes a variety of components such as the CPU, GPU, and others, allowing clients to retain complete control over the IP blocks for their chips within their own premises.
- G720 Immortalis
The newly introduced 5th generation GPU architecture is Arm’s most powerful GPU to date, with the addition of Deferred Vertex Shading (DVS) technology.
The flagship model, Immortalis G720, improves performance by 15% while reducing memory bandwidth usage by 40%.
- Mali G620
In addition to the G720, Arm has released the Mali-G620, which is aimed at the lower-end market. Company has expanded its premium graphics feature set with these new Mali GPUs, making it available to a wider range of consumer devices.
Notably, MediaTek was present at the launch event, displaying their new System on a Chip (SoC) based on the Cortex X4 and Immortalis G720, which includes hardware-based ray tracing.
- Cortex X4 processor
Cortex X4 has reached an important milestone by completing the first tape out using TSMC’s N3E process.
This latest cluster is Arm’s fastest to date, delivering an impressive 15% increase in performance while also improving power efficiency by 40%.
The Cortex-A720 emerges as an industry-leading CPU IP within the cluster, serving as the powerhouse for long-term performance. The Cortex-A520, on the other hand, is Arm’s most powerful high-efficiency CPU core to date.
These new CPU designs improve power efficiency by 20% over previous generations, benefiting a wide range of applications such as AAA gaming, all-day productivity, and background tasks.
- Powered by Intel 18A
Surprisingly, ARM has hinted that its Cortex X4 processor will most likely be based on Intel’s 18A technology. Intel Foundry Services (IFS) Senior Vice President and General Manager Stuart Pann stated:
The combination of leading-edge Intel 18A technology with Arm’s newest and most powerful CPU core, the Cortex-X4, will create opportunities for companies looking to design the next generation of innovative mobile SoCs. Arm is a critical partner as we work to build a comprehensive foundry ecosystem for our customers around the world.
DSU 120
Last but not least, the new DSU-120 most recent innovation, the DynamIQ shared unit. This advanced unit supports up to 14 CPU cores in a single cluster, meeting the demands of multi-threaded applications in a variety of use cases such as wearables, smartphones, and laptops.
We can expect to see the new hardware in phones and laptops later this year, now that it has been officially announced.
