are expected to enter the market in 2016.
The ARM premium mobile experience IP suite offers the most
compelling mobile technology available today. Alongside the
Cortex-A72 processor is the new CoreLink CCI-500 interconnect and
the new Mali-T880 GPU, ARM’s highest performing and most
energy-efficient mobile GPU, along with Mali-V550 video and
Mali-DP550 display processors. To further ease chip implementation,
the suite also includes ARM POP IP for the leading-edge TSMC 16nm
FinFET+ process.
“Our new premium mobile experience IP suite with the Cortex-A72
processor delivers a decisive step forward from the compelling user
experiences provided by this year’s Cortex-A57 based devices,” said
Pete Hutton, executive vice president and president, products
groups, ARM. “For multiple generations, together with our partners,
we have delivered the leading-edge of the premium mobile
experience. Building on this, in 2016 the ARM ecosystem will
deliver even slimmer, lighter, more immersive mobile devices that
serve as your primary and only compute platform.”
The 2016 Premium Mobile Experience
The premium mobile experience IP suite addresses the
ever-increasing demands of end-users for their primary,
always-connected mobile devices capable of creating, enhancing and
consuming any content. For 2016 devices, ARM and its partners will
boost the mobile experience associated with use cases such as:
- Immersive and sophisticated image and
video capture, including 4K120fps video content
- Console-class gaming performance and
graphics
- Productivity suites requiring fluid
handling of documents and office applications
- Natural language user interfaces
capable of running natively on a smartphone.
Introducing Cortex-A72, the Highest Performance ARM Cortex
Processor
More than ten partners, including HiSilicon, MediaTek and
Rockchip, have already licensed the Cortex-A72 processor, which is
based on the ARMv8-A architecture that delivers energy-efficient
64-bit processing while providing full backward compatibility to
existing 32-bit software. The Cortex-A72 processor will deliver
substantial new benefits:
- Sustained operation within the
constrained mobile power envelope at frequencies of 2.5 GHz in a
16nm FinFET process and scalable to higher frequencies for
deployment in larger form factor devices
- 3.5X the performance of 2014 devices
based on the Cortex-A15 processor
- Improved energy efficiency that
delivers a 75 percent reduction in energy consumption when matching
performance of 2014 devices
- Extended performance and efficiency
when the Cortex-A72 CPU is combined with a Cortex-A53 CPU in ARM
big.LITTLE™ processor configurations.
CoreLink CCI-500, Extending Efficiency Across the SoC
The CoreLink CCI-500 Cache Coherent Interconnect enables
big.LITTLE processing and delivers system power savings thanks to
an integrated snoop filter. CoreLink CCI-500 delivers double the
peak memory system bandwidth and offers a 30 percent increase in
processor memory performance compared to the previous generation
CoreLink CCI-400. This enables more responsive user interfaces and
accelerates memory intensive workloads such as productivity
applications, video editing and multi-tasking. CoreLink CCI-500
fully supports ARM TrustZone® technology for a secure media path
enabling protection of multimedia content when used with the Mali
product family.
Mali-T880, A Ground-Breaking Mobile Graphics and Visual
Experience
The new Mali-T880 GPU delivers 1.8X the graphics performance of
today’s Mali-T760 based devices and a 40 percent reduction in
energy consumption across identical workloads. The Mali-T880
enables high-end, complex use cases to be enjoyed on
power-constrained mobile and consumer platforms with its advances
in energy efficiency, additional arithmetic capabilities and
scalability. For mobile gamers, the result is a more advanced
gaming and console-like experience. Native support for 10-bit YUV
provides stunning fidelity for premium 4K content, complementing
the Mali-V550 video processor and Mali-DP550 display
processors.
Energy-efficiency continues to be the guiding design principle
across the spectrum of the Mali product family, including a diverse
set of proven, system-wide bandwidth reduction technologies. In
premium device configurations, the Mali-V550 video processor fully
supports HEVC decode and encode on a single core. In addition, it
offers scalability up to 4K120fps with its full eight cores. The
Mali-DP550 display processor offers enhanced capabilities for
offloading tasks such as composition, scaling, rotation and image
post-processing from the GPU to maximize battery life.
Improved Time-to-Market with FinFET Technology
The new POP IP for advanced TSMC 16nm FinFET+ enables any
silicon vendor to migrate from 32/28nm process nodes with
predictable performance, power results and time-to-market. ARM POP
IP will enable Cortex-A72 processors to sustain 2.5 GHz in
smartphones and scale to higher frequencies for larger form-factor
devices in typical conditions. POP IP also supports implementations
of the Mali-T880 for TSMC 16nm FinFET+.
Advancing Mobile Ecosystem Innovation with ARMv8-A
Leadership
The mobile ecosystem is already taking advantage of the benefits
of ARMv8-A with the move to Google Android™ 5.0 Lollipop. The new
IP suite builds on this, enabling partners to deliver even more
performance in the slimmest of form factors without compromising
battery life. Over the course of 2015 and 2016, ARM expects
significant adoption of Google Android 5.0 Lollipop in the premium
mobile device market, further unleashing the capabilities of 64-bit
ARMv8-A based CPUs. This opens the door for more application
developers to take advantage of the doubling of SIMD multimedia
(ARM NEON™ technology) and floating point performance, crypto
instructions to protect consumers data and 4GB or higher memory
support; delivering the next-generation premium mobile
experience.
