ARM has announced a suite of premium mobile processor
technologies to redefine flagship devices from 2017. The ARM
Cortex-A73 processor and the ARM Mali-G71 graphics processor offer
sustained performance and efficiency gains that will lead to new
products with enhanced contextual and visual capabilities. This
will allow devices to run high resolution content for longer
periods while staying within strict mobile power budgets.
“The smartphone is the world’s most ubiquitous compute device,
offering experiences that improve with each new product
generation,” said Pete Hutton, executive vice president and
president, product groups, ARM. “In 2017, we will see devices with
the Cortex-A73 and Mali-G71 processors that stand out thanks to
their impressive and sustained performance, and even more stunning
visuals. This technology can make engaging with 4K video, virtual
reality and augmented reality an everyday experience on a mobile
device.”
Mali-G71: A Step Change in ARM Mali GPU Performance
The Mali-G71 graphics processor unit (GPU) increases the
momentum for ARM Mali products, now the industry’s number one
shipping graphics processor technology. The new core enables a 50
percent increase in graphics performance, a 20 percent increase in
power-efficiency and 40 percent more performance per mm2.
The Mali-G71 scales efficiently up to 32 shader cores, twice as
many as the previous generation premium IP GPU – the Mali-T880. The
uplift means the Mali-G71 surpasses the performance of many
discrete GPUs found in today’s mid-range laptops. The product is
also fully coherent, helping to simplify software development and
efficiency. It is ideally suited to power immersive VR and AR
experiences on mobile devices and leading silicon providers
including HiSilicon, MediaTek and Samsung Electronics have already
taken licenses.
Bifrost, the third-generation ARM GPU architecture, is the
foundation of the Mali-G71. The architecture is optimized for
Vulkan and other industry-standard APIs, building on innovations
from the previous Utgard and Midgard architectures.
“VR is one of the most important technological breakthroughs for
the gaming industry in a generation,” said Niklas Smedberg,
technical director, platform partnerships, Epic Games. “The ability
to deliver a compelling VR experience on all platforms, but
especially mobile, is critical for the industry’s continued growth
and advancement. To enable a great mobile VR experience, devices
need to be the highest performing and most energy efficient
available.”
“It's basic math - the sheer number of smartphones in the world
is already double PCs and rising, which makes it the single most
important device for accelerating VR gaming adoption,” said Clive
Downie, CMO Unity Technologies. “ARM is making smart investments
that move the mobile VR and AR ecosystems forward. By creating more
efficient and powerful technology solutions for mobile
they are helping push the boundaries of what is possible in
the virtual world and everyone will benefit.”
Cortex-A73: More Efficiency and Performance for Mobile
SoCs
At under 0.65mm2 per core (on a 10nm FinFET process technology)
the Cortex-A73 is the smallest and most efficient ‘big’ ARMv8-A
core. Its advanced mobile microarchitecture enables a 30 percent
uplift in sustained performance and power efficiency over the
Cortex-A72.
Size and efficiency improvements enhance the ability of silicon
providers to use the Cortex-A73 in ARM big.LITTLE™ configurations.
These improvements create further opportunities for designers to
scale big cores along with the GPU and other IP in a single SoC.
Ten partners have licensed the Cortex-A73 so far, including
HiSilicon, Marvell and Mediatek.
“In order to deliver more quality and excellent smartphone
experiences to consumers, Huawei will continue enhancing the
integrated performance of our premium smartphones,” said Kevin Ho,
President, handset business, Huawei consumer business group. “The
system-level approach that ARM takes in developing its IP is a
vital element in ensuring our design teams are able to maximize
efficiency and performance across the entire device.”
In addition to smartphones, ARM’s latest premium IP suite offers
the increased performance density and throughput required for other
consumer electronics applications such as large-screen compute
devices, industrial gateways, in vehicle infotainment and smart
TVs.

Notes to Editors:
The Smartphone Challenge: 2017
The challenge for device makers is to build slimmer devices with
razor-thin bezels, higher screen resolutions and longer battery
life. These design choices drive constant innovation in the size,
performance and efficiency of device processing technology. The
challenge intensifies with the proliferation of mobile VR, AR,
4K120 video, hi-fi quality audio and multiple cameras. Advanced
modem technologies provide higher-bandwidth communications but also
elevate the need for efficiency as tight mobile thermal budgets
must be met.
