It looks like smartphones will be getting much more powerful than they are now. is reporting that the new Arm Armv9 architecture is set to take smartphones to the next level. As many users know, the architecture of a processor is very important when it comes to performance. The architecture defines how a processor works, what it can do, how memory is accessed, and much more. So needless to say a new architecture coming to market is a major deal. The new Armv9 will have an all-new physical hardware design, instruction sets, and capabilities. Smartphones have been using Arm’s Armv8 architecture for their processors, and revisions on that architecture for a decade. The new Armv9 will herald in a generation of new CPU cores that will be at the heart of future smartphones. This new architecture is the first from Arm in a decade and will change how the next generation of mobile, server and other processors will work. Arm says that the next two generations of CPU designs will boost performance by 30% compared to today’s highest performing Cortex-X1 CPU core. This is ignoring any type of clock speed boosts or any other manufacturing benefits that may squeeze out more performance. In addition, the Armv9 will be faster than the when it comes to machine learning workloads, and it’ll be more secure. Those last two points are extremely important. Machine learning is becoming more and more prevalent in current smartphones. Also, the introduction of features like using smartphones as, IDs, and more security is a must.
