Arm today announced a new suite of IP for premium mobile experiences that will enable companies like Qualcomm to design new high-end processors that can offer laptop-grade performance. Arm announced the following today:
The new Cortex-A76 CPU features a brand new microarchitecture based on DynamIQ big. LITTLE combination that is designed for extreme performance and power efficiency. Compared to the current generation Cortex CPUs, Cortex-A76 CPU will offer performance uplift of 35%, and in the meantime they offer 40% power efficiency improvement. ARM even claims that the Cortex-A76 based laptops are expected to deliver twice the performance on the current Arm based generation.
Some of the key enhancements in the Cortex-A76 CPU include:
“Cortex-A76 represents the best fit for the laptop space because the performance uplifts allow exceptional delivery of the most important productivity apps such as the Microsoft Office suite, providing a much faster, smoother user experience,” wrote Lionel Belnet from ARM in his blog post.
With today’s announcement, ARM has made any gap in Windows on ARM device performance a non-issue with a new CPU design that delivers a staggering increase in year-over-year performance. I guess the Snapdragon 1000 processor which we wrote about last night will be based on this new Cortex CPU. Are you excited about the upcoming ARM-based Windows devices?
