Arm first released CPU roadmap to accelerate mobile and notebook performance

Wednesday,Aug 22,2018

 Arm today unveiled the CPU forward-looking roadmap and computing performance data from the current Arms Terminal Division to 2020, aiming to see how future Arm-based CPUs are targeted at "always-on, always-connected" "The device provides a breakthrough in performance. This is the first time that Arm has disclosed its CPU business roadmap and will continue to disclose the latest roadmap.

 
In the past five years, Arm's annual world-class CPU design has provided PC-level performance for the majority of users' smartphones, fundamentally changing the way users use technology in their daily lives. Since 2013, this series of technological innovations has maintained an annual double-digit increase in the percentage of executions per cycle (instructions-per-clock). At present, Arm is applying its leading design capabilities and optimization of the latest process technology for chip manufacturing partners to help the PC industry overcome its reliance on Moore's Law and provide notebook computers with the high performance and always online essential for the 5G era. , always connected to the user experience.
 
The roadmap includes the Cortex-A76 CPU that Arm introduced on May 31, 2018. Compared to the previous generation, the Cortex-A76 achieves an unprecedented 35% performance increase without compromising power efficiency. The Cortex-A76 is expected to be used as the base CPUIP for the first 7nm system-on-chip (SoC) to be commissioned by the end of this year. More importantly, the birth of the Cortex-A76 is a continuation of the high-speed performance of CPU performance, enabling consumers to implement more functions on their smartphones and upgrade their device performance to the level of laptops.
 
Looking to the future: Delivering breakthrough performance for users who are always online and always connected
 
The important details of the Arm Terminal Business Unit CPU Roadmap are as follows:
 
· The Cortex-A76's next-generation CPU product, codenamed Deimos, is scheduled to be delivered to Arm's partners in 2018. Deimos is based on Arm DynamIQ technology and will be optimized for the latest 7nm manufacturing process and is expected to increase its computing performance by at least 15%.
 
· In 2019, a new generation of CPUs codenamed Hercules will be delivered to Arm's partners. Like Deimos, Hercules is also based on DynamIQ technology and will be optimized for both 5 nm and 7 nm nodes. In addition to improving computing performance, Hercules also increased power efficiency and silicon area efficiency by 10% (except for efficiency gains from the 5nm process node itself).
 
The significance of the road map
 
The Arm Terminal Business Unit CPU Roadmap is designed to take advantage of the disruptive innovations faced by user devices in the 5G era and integrate process innovations from chip manufacturing partners to break the dominance of the x86 architecture and significantly expand Windows notebooks and beyond in the next five years. Market share in the Chromebook space.
 
In addition, the Arm Artisan physical IP platform and Arm POP IP will help Arm partners achieve maximum performance and power efficiency at any process node of their choice. Artisan is able to provide Arm's chip manufacturing partners with a key part of building industry-leading process nodes from 130nm to 5nm, while POP IP helps Arm's partners achieve market-leading performance, power and silicon on multiple generations of Arm cores. Area (PPA). Arm POP IP has helped partners achieve notebook-class performance in Cortex-A76-based 7nm SoCs, increasing clock speeds to over 3.0 GHz and even 3.3 GHz, consuming approximately the power of today's mass-market x86 processors. half.
 
Powerful and fast-expanding laptop ecosystem
 
Today's leading PC OEMs have recognized that efficiency is a key advantage of always-on, always-on-line notebooks that are characterized by slimness, light weight, long battery life and excellent responsiveness. These devices are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon System-on-Chip (SoC) based on the Arm architecture and run the Windows 10 operating system. At present, ASUS, Lenovo, Hewlett-Packard and Samsung have launched a series of Arm-based notebooks. These partners and Microsoft have provided users with a new networking option and an always-on experience that could not be achieved a year ago.
 
But Arm does not rely solely on its efficiency advantages to build a mobile ecosystem. In addition to the new design that is fixed every year, it accelerates performance while improving efficiency and chip size. This enables the Arm Ecosystem, comprised of chip production, software and OEM partners, to deliver new innovations and features to the market every year. Arm's latest roadmap emphasizes that it is bringing the same annual Silicon Area (PPA) improvements to the PC industry, bringing unprecedented opportunities and space to accelerate innovation.
 
Alex Katouzian, senior vice president and general manager of Qualcomm's mobile division, said: "Arm's planned CPU roadmap, coupled with Qualcomm's heterogeneous computing approach across IP blocks and integrated connections, will enable Qualcomm's Snapdragon Mobile Compute platform. The always-on, always-connected PC experience is gaining new heights. Our mission is to continue to bring to the PC the world's leading mobile products that last for a long battery life, stylish and innovative, and support the Windows 10 operating system."
 
2018 is an important first step in expanding the Arm PC ecosystem – Arm shows the world that the industry will no longer be limited by “process technology will gradually improve every two years, laptops will need to be recharged every few hours. "the opinion of. The pace of innovation that transforms smartphones into more versatile computing platforms is driving innovation in large-screen devices. For the broader PC industry, the question now is: When the 5G era comes, are you ready to liberate yourself from the slowdown of Moore's Law and provide consumers and businesses with the mobile experience they need?
