ARM big.Little concept also apply to graphics chips

ARM is going to be big.Little-concept, where an efficient chip tasks of a more powerful instance takes over if the load is low, is also in its gpu’s. In addition, the company in 2014 with a new 20nm-soc.

That shared ARM ceo Warren East at the presentation of the quarterly, writes EeTimes. ARM, that only processors designs and then licenceert to partners, is currently working on two new graphics chips with the code names Skrymir and Tyr. You may want to ARM this go to bundle so the power consumption within limits, while the performance increased.

This processors to achieve ARM the big.Little-concept thought. This is a fuel-efficient Cortex A7 core to a powerful Cortex A15-cores linked. If the chip is hardly taxed, the A15 cores are switched off to conserve power and take the A7 to the remaining tasks. Or ARM this is also specifically apply to Skrymir and Tyr wanted to be ceo East still not letting go, but he had to know that it is big.Little concept, in the future, when graphics chips will be used.

East also had to know that ARM is currently working on two new processors working with the code names of Atlas and Apollo. This will use the new 64bit-armv8 instruction set, and must be in 2014 come true. It is expected that by that time the 20nm-production process is mature enough to be applied to the mobile chips.
