Unleash your gaming performance with Arm Immortalis and Mali GPUs

As innovations in mobile devices drive the rapid growth of mobile gaming, the rise of AAA games with outstanding visuals also requires performance to match. Arm’s new flagship GPU product, Immortalis, inherits the deep technical heritage of Arm Mali™, the world’s most shipped GPU product, and is configured and enhanced to provide the ultimate mobile 3D experience.

Arm also announced the new high-end Arm Mali-G715 GPU, which offers the Variable Rate Shading graphics feature available on all new GPUs, significantly reducing power consumption and further improving gaming performance.

The Mali-G610, launched in 2021, has been widely favored by the market for providing sustained gaming performance for high-end devices. The launch of the Arm Mali-G615 will bring high-end mobile application scenarios, functions and features to a wider range of developers and consumers more quickly.

The latest Arm GPUs offer 15% more performance than the previous generation, making them Arm’s most powerful GPUs to date. This demonstrates Arm’s focus on ensuring the latest flagship and premium smartphones deliver the AAA gaming experiences that end users demand. The new GPUs are also built on the efficient Arm Mali-G710 GPU, and are 15% more energy efficient, allowing users to game for longer.

Armv9 CPU: Delivering high-end sustained performance and efficiency for the next generation of devices

The first Armv9 CPUs were launched in 2021. This year, Arm responded to market demands for performance and efficiency with a new extended CPU cluster. The new CPU design is designed to increase peak performance and provide excellent sustained performance and efficiency.

Continuing Arm’s focus on improving single-threaded performance, the new Arm Cortex®-X3 targets a wide range of benchmarks and application markets, delivering up to 25% performance improvement over the latest Android flagship smartphones and 34% performance improvement over the latest mainstream laptops.

The Arm Cortex-A715 focuses on efficient performance, with a 20% improvement in energy efficiency and a 5% performance improvement over the Cortex-A710, reaching an important milestone comparable to the performance of the Cortex-X1.

Given the importance of efficient performance, the Cortex-A715 CPU cluster adopts a big.LITTLE™-based configuration, which is also the most commonly used heterogeneous processing architecture in consumer devices around the world.

The Arm Cortex-A510 based on the Armv9 architecture was launched in 2021. This is the first efficient small core launched by Arm in four years. This year's updated version reduces power consumption by 5% while maintaining the same performance. At the same time, compared with the previous generation last year, the updated DSU-110 supports 50% more CPU cluster cores, achieving scalability for different levels of consumer devices.
