• Arm has revealed new three new mobile CPUs at Computex 2023 this week, each utilising 64-bit technology.
• There are no legacy 32-bit designs, which will force Android phone makers to embrace 64-bit for future devices.
• The company also debuted the Immortalis-G720, which is based on its fifth-generation GPU architecture.

Computex 2023 is currently underway and while NVIDIA dominated much of the news cycle for the first couple of days, it is now the turn of Arm, which debuted a host of new mobile chipsets and designs that will be of interest to Android phone makers in particular.

This as the core architectures are built exclusively on 64-bit technology.

While this may not be a big thing for Samsung and companies of that ilk that make flagship devices, it is important for smaller manufacturers as there is no legacy 32-bit iterations as there were with the offerings that Arm showcased last year.

To that end, on the CPU side of things, Arm has the new Cortex-X4, Cortex-A720, and Cortex-A520. As Engadget points out, these CPU cores will not revolutionise performance, but do mark an evolution that Arm will be ushering in.

Running through the CPU cores, Arm says the Cortex-X4 is the fastest CPU it has made to date, delivering 15 percent more performance than its predecessor, along with a specific focus on powering AI and machine learning capabilities, according to the British semiconductor company.

The A720 sits in the middle of the pack and boasts 20 percent better power efficiency than the previous iteration, while the A520 is reportedly 22 percent more efficient along with an 8 percent bump in performance.

For the GPU portion of its presentations, Arm had the Immortalis-G720, Mali-G720, and Mali-G620 designs to showcase. These GPUs are said to deliver better performance, as well as being less power hungry. Added to this is less strain on bandwidth, with Genshin Impact used as a reference at 33 percent less demand.

Last worth mentioning is a new platform for mobile computing called Arm Total Compute Solutions 2023 (TCS23).

This platform appears to work much like Intel’s Evo offering, as it, “delivers a complete package of the latest IP designed and optimized for specific workloads to work seamlessly together as a complete system”.

“This includes a new world-class Arm Immortalis GPU based on our brand-new 5th Generation GPU architecture for ultimate visual experiences, a new cluster of Armv9 CPUs that continue our performance leadership for next-gen artificial intelligence (AI), and new enhancements to deliver more accessible software for the millions of Arm developers,” the company explained.

“As part of TCS23, we are demonstrating our ongoing commitment to CPU performance leadership,” it concluded.
