ARM today announced a suite of integrated media IP designed to
efficiently deliver rich visual content. The ARM® Mali™ media IP
suite is ideal for the highest volume segments for smartphones and
tablets, which is currently a billion unit opportunity.
The ARM Mali media IP suite represents ARM’s expanded vision of
distributed processing that ensures graphically-intensive content
is assigned to the most appropriate processor, balancing the best
user experience with the lowest possible energy use. The highly
configurable and scalable IP suite enables ARM partners to develop
diverse media SoCs, and is comprised of the Mali-V550 video
accelerator, the Mali-DP550 display processor and the Mali-T800 GPU
family.
Integrated and Optimized for Efficiency
A system-level approach to media IP enables power savings
through system-wide adoption of bandwidth saving technologies such
as ARM Frame Buffer Compression (AFBC). Other advanced technologies
proven in prior Mali GPUs such as Adaptive Scalable Texture
Compression (ASTC), Transaction Elimination and Smart Composition
are now utilized across all Mali media IP blocks for even greater
energy savings. The Mali-V550 and Mali-DP550 processors also
benefit from new features such as Motion Search Elimination
technology that reduces bandwidth by up to 35 percent. This leads
to a more energy-efficient mobile device that is better equipped
for the increasingly complex content demands of users.
“As your mobile device is now your primary compute device,
manufacturers have to regularly deliver better features and
functionality while preserving battery life,” said Mark
Dickinson, general manager, media processing group, ARM. “The ARM
Mali media IP suite employs the right processor for the right task
and utilizes our latest energy-saving technologies across all the
IP blocks. We are giving our SoC partners a set of media IP that
simply works better together.”
GPUs that Scale Across a Broad Range of Requirements
As mobile user content continues to diversify, manufacturers
face an ongoing challenge to deliver the perfect device at the
right price point. The new ARM Mali Media IP suite addresses this
challenge by offering a scalable solution to meet a wide range of
performance and cost requirements. The ARM Mali-T800 GPU family
includes the Mali-T820, Mali-T830 and Mali-T860 GPUs.
In a performance and energy-efficiency comparison using the same
configuration and process node:
- The Mali-T820 GPU is optimized for
entry-level products, achieving up to 40 percent more performance
density compared to the Mali-T622 GPU
- The Mali-T830 GPU strikes the perfect
balance of performance and efficiency, delivering up to 55 percent
more performance than the Mali-T622 GPU
- The Mali-T860 GPU is for the most
demanding consumers who want a great visual experience on their
mobile device, providing high performance and 45 percent more
energy-efficiency compared to the Mali-T628 GPU
The ARM Mali-T800 GPU family supports the latest APIs including
OpenGL® ES 3.1, DirectX® 11, OpenCL™ and RenderScript and includes
advanced features such as lossless compression with AFBC and Smart
Composition for input bandwidth reduction. The Mali-T820 and
Mali-T830 offer up to four shader cores, scaling to 16 shader cores
in the Mali-T860.
IP Industry’s First Single-core Video Encode and Decode
Solution for HEVC
The High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard has matured.
Content in this format is now ready and suitable to migrate from
software implementations to hardware implementations. The Mali-V550
video processor fully supports the HEVC standard to deliver
compressed HD video at higher bit rates while retaining low energy
consumption and secure content delivery features.
Benefits and features of the Mali-V550 include:
- Scalability to 1080p/60fps on a single
core and up to 4k120 on eight cores
- First video IP from ARM with
multi-standard codecs including HEVC (H.265) for both encode and
decode on a single core
- Multiple stream support for
simultaneous encode and decode
- Motion Search Elimination, an energy
saving feature that dynamically turns motion search on or off in
the video encoder
Delivering Energy-efficiency to the Screen
The Mali-DP550 delivers enhanced capabilities for offloading
tasks such as composition, scaling, rotation and image
post-processing from the GPU on to a dedicated processor in order
to maximize device battery life.
Benefits and features of the Mali-DP550 include:
- Support for up to seven layers of
composition for image rendering optimization, that enables users to
benefit from more dynamic and immersive user interfaces
- A co-processor interface enabling easy
integration with ARM partners’ IP blocks
- Configuration flexibility to support a
range of resolutions
The ARM system-level design approach delivers immediate benefits
for OEMs and silicon manufacturers with components providing
interfaces to the ARM DS-5 Streamline performance analyzer. This
enables developers to identify bottlenecks across the entire system
by showing the interaction of software with processors, graphics
processors and system IP. This seamless software stack provided by
the ARM ecosystem delivers high quality drivers that will enable a
quicker time to market and lower development costs for ARM’s
partners.
The ARM Mali media IP suite is available for immediate licensing
and initial consumer devices are expected to appear in late 2015
and early 2016.

“Smartphone and tablet users take their devices everywhere, so
they don’t want to compromise on visual quality whether they are in
a dark room or outside in the sun. But traditional display
technology has found it hard to meet this demand,” said Michael
Tusch, CEO, Apical. “ARM and Apical have been successfully
collaborating on a range of projects. The new ARM Mali-DP550
specifically integrates with Apical’s Assertive Display technology
to deliver a seamless, high-quality viewing experience even in
bright sunshine while enabling significant increase in battery
life.”
“By working with ARM on the requirements for advanced display
technology, we’re able to offer our mutual customers the
controllers and PHY interfaces required for the wide range of
displays that can be employed by ARM’s flexible,
power-efficient ARM Mali media IP system,” said Jack Guedj,
corporate vice president, IP Group, Cadence. “With graphics
becoming increasingly complex, the new processing capabilities
included with ARM Mali products address market demand for an
optimized mobile user experience at resolutions up to 4K."
“With the range of new Mali media IP products, MediaTek’s OEM
partners will be able to take advantage of energy efficiency at the
system level,” said Jeffrey Ju, senior vice president and general
manager, wireless communication, MediaTek. “Technologies like AFBC
