This Chinese Valentine's Day, ARM wishes you perfection like Cortex-A73 & Mali-G71

This Chinese Valentine's Day,

ARM wishes you perfection like Cortex-A73 & Mali-G71.

Thanks to its exclusive design and optimization, the Cortex-A73 processor is tailor-made for mobile devices and other consumer electronic devices. The optimizations made for device performance and energy consumption are particularly exciting: under the same CPU configuration, the 10nm process A73 has 30% higher performance and 30% higher energy efficiency than the 16nm A72. The area of ​​a single core does not exceed 0.65mm², making it the smallest CPU currently using the ARMv8-A architecture!

Improvements in size and efficiency give the Cortex-A73 greater flexibility when used in ARM big.LITTLE configurations, allowing designers to scale the big cores with GPUs and other IP in a single system-on-chip (SoC).

The Cortex-A73 and Cortex-A53 will serve the new generation of smartphones together, most commonly in an octa-core processor. In addition, the Cortex-A73 also lays the foundation for improving the mid-range user experience. For example, a six-core big.LITTLE configuration, a dual-core Cortex-A73 processor and a quad-core Cortex-A53 or Cortex-A35 processor can achieve better performance than an octa-core Cortex-A53 in the same or smaller area.

The Mali-G71 GPU enables the next generation of high-end smartphones to deliver 1.5 times faster graphics performance, 20% better power efficiency, and 40% more performance per square millimeter. Mali-G71 effectively doubles the number of shader cores to up to 32, twice that of the Mali-T880, outperforming discrete GPUs in today’s mid-range laptops.

The Mali-G71 graphics processor fully supports consistency, which helps simplify software development and improve efficiency. It perfectly presents immersive VR and AR experiences within the mobile power range and is the "core" of choice for future mobile VR.

Mali-G71's mobile image processing performance is at the highest level currently, with the lowest power consumption and chip area. Partners can achieve the pinnacle of mobile image processing technology while enjoying the most scalable and personalized technology. When this new "core" is launched on the market, the next generation of mobile games and image processing technology will be just a stone's throw away.

The best combination of Cortex-A73 and Mali-G71 will come to fruition in 2017, and the latest flagship mobile products based on ARM's latest core will be launched in 2017!
