Arm has lifted the lid on its latest mobile platform, comprising new CPU and GPU designs plus rearchitected interconnect and memory management logic, all optimized with a coming wave of AI-enabled smartphones in mind.
The UK-based chip designer has been moving towards more integrated solutions rather than just offering cores for several years, and this year's Lumex compute subsystem (CSS) is the latest evolution of that philosophy.
As with each generation, Arm manages to squeeze more performance and power efficiency out of its designs, claiming an average 15 percent step up in CPU and 20 percent in GPU, while saving 15 percent on power.
The key focus with Lumex is on Arm's SME2 Scalable Matrix Extensions in the CPU cluster, which the firm is pushing as the preferred route for AI acceler
