ARM during his Tech Days, an update on the upcoming processor architectures for smartphones and tablets of the company. A chip based on Cortex-A57 is going at constant proced lwa 50 percent better performance than the current A15 design, claims ARM.
ARM has released more details published about the speedups where the Cortex-A50 series, a new series of socs, which is based on the 64bit ARMv8 architecture, have to ensure. Compared to the Cortex-A7 is Cortex-A53 50 percent better performance than A7 and the same profit is to be expected when A57 compared to the current A15 soc’s. That is at constant manufacturing process of 28nm; at 20nm or 16nm chips, the differences are bigger, writes AnandTech on the basis of documents from ARM.
In addition, ARM data known about the growth of the use of ARM-soc’s by manufacturers. For example, Chinese manufacturers like MediaTek in 2013, 40 percent of the tablet market for ARM-soc, or 100 million soc’s. In a short time have Chinese manufacturers thereby acquired a stake similar to that of manufacturers from other countries and of x86-processors for laptops.
In addition, ARM a big shift to cheaper smartphones and tablets. By 2018, with supply manufacturers for more than a billion entry-level smartphones per year, expected the British chipontwerpbedrijf. Further price declines should this growth drive, especially in emerging markets. Smartphones of 20 dollar are all soon to be within reach, think ARM. Finally, it shows ARM in a chart the growth of singlecore, dual-core and now quad-core.
