Business Wire
Highlights:
- Latest suite of ARM® IP delivers
today’s premium user experience in the mid-range mobile and
consumer devices for 2015.
- ARM Cortex®-A17 processor delivers
better efficiency and 60 percent more performance than the ARM
Cortex-A9 processor, which is the current market leader by volume
shipped.
- The ARM Mali-T720 GPU and ARM Mali-V500
video processor bring scalable, energy-efficient compact multimedia
solutions to mid-range devices and are complemented by the ARM
Mali™-DP500 display processor.
ARM today announced an enhanced suite of higher performance and
more energy-efficient products specifically designed for the
rapidly growing mid-range mobile and consumer electronics markets.
The suite, comprised of processor, graphics processor and physical
IP, is an update to ARM’s mid-range IP offering targeting devices
for production in 2015 and beyond. The combination of the ARM
Cortex-A17 processor and the ARM Mali-T720 GPU gives an enriched
offering for mid-range mobile and other consumer applications such
as smart TVs and Over-the-Top media devices.
“We expect to see a rich set of innovation in the mid-range
mobile phone segment which is forecast to become a half a billion
unit market annually from 2015 and the Cortex-A17 processor will be
a key component in that growth,” said Ian Ferguson, vice president
of segment marketing, ARM. “To date, the ARM Partnership has
shipped more than 50 billion ARM-based chips and the continued
broadening of our processor family will enable our partners to
further optimize their offerings in existing and new product
categories.”
More Performance, Greater Efficiency
The Cortex-A17 processor offers a 60 percent performance
improvement over Cortex-A9 processors, enabling better power and
area efficiency while supporting full-system coherency for ARM
big.LITTLE™ processing using the CoreLink™ CCI-400 Cache Coherent
Interconnect. Additional information on the Cortex-A17 processor
can be found here.
The Mali-T720 GPU is a cost-optimized graphics solution targeted
at entry-level Android devices developed to reduce an OEM’s
manufacturing complexities and time-to-market. It supports the
latest graphics and GPU computing APIs, including Open GL ES 3.0,
OpenCL and RenderScript, extending the rich visual experience
previously found only on today’s high-end smartphones and tablets.
More detail on the Mali-T720 GPU can be found here. Additionally,
the mid-range IP suite includes the Mali-V500 video solution, a
very efficient and compact video processor delivering up to 4K
resolutions and when combined with the new Mali-DP500 display
controller, enables security from content to the glass.
Faster Time-To-Market Support
To enable SoC designers to combine their own IP in the most
efficient and effective manner, ARM provides ARM POP™ IP
implementation solutions on 28nm process technology. POP IP for the
Cortex-A17 processor includes core-hardening acceleration
technology and delivers 2.0+ GHz implementations. POP IP for the
Mali-T720 GPU enables best-in-class area efficiency (fps/mm2) and
market-leading power efficiency (fps/mW). It includes a proven
RTL-GDS flow to easily reproduce complex implementations for a
faster time to market. More information on POP IP featuring ARM
Artisan® Physical IP can be found here.
