ARM officially unveiled Cortex-X3, Cortex-A510 and Cortex-A715 coreswhich will appear in mobile phones in 2023 from companies like Samsung or Qualcomm, which usually license ARM designs to create Exynos and Snapdragon chips, which we see in many smartphones high end.

The novelties boil down to the following points:

  • Cortex-X3 It promises to be 25% faster than the previous model (Cortex-X2 used in today’s flagship phones).
  • Cortex-A715 It promises to be 20% more energy efficient than the A710 and also 5% more powerful.
  • nuclei Cortex-A510 promise to consume 5% less energy than before.
  • ARM is finally saying goodbye to 32-bit in this generation.

In parallel, the British company introduced a new GPU called Immortalis. It stands out, like the one developed by Samsung and AMD, in that it opens the door for ray tracing on mobile devices; a technology that, until recently, was only used by relatively modern Nvidia or AMD GPUs.

ARM upgrades aren’t enough to beat the iPhone

as noted ArsTehnika, the aforementioned 25% improvement in the most powerful cores tends to be insufficient to compete with the A15 Bionic which Apple is installing in the iPhone 13 from 2021. The above chips are 30% to 40% more powerful than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 which powers almost all high-end Android phones in tests like Geekbench.

It should also be remembered that Apple likely to unveil new A16 Bionic chip before the end of this year, so the difference could widen even further before the first chips based on the new ARM cores hit the market.

Another factor to consider is the implementation that each brand makes of these components. ARM designs and R&D are a very important part of the equation, but other parameters that are solely dependent on chip manufacturers are also determining factors. This explains, for example, why processors from Qualcomm, Samsung or MediaTek offer different performance despite being based on the same base.

All this news from ARM, although it was presented right now, probably won’t see the light of day until 2023. It will be when the first ones appear smartphones with chips like the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or the next generation of Exynos hitting stores.
