Introduced CPU Cortex-X2, Cortex-A710, Cortex-A510 and GPU Mali-G710, G610, G510, and G310

Arm this week unveiled the next generation Cortex-X2, Cortex-A710, Cortex-A510 processor cores, as well as the Mali-G710, G610, G510 and G310 GPUs.

The flagship of the new lineup is the Cortex-X2 core, which is the successor to the Cortex-X1 included in the Exynos 2100 and Snapdragon 888 SoCs. The expected performance increase over its predecessor is 16%. It is reported that the new core will be used in flagship platforms for smartphones and laptops.

The Cortex-A510 core replaces the Cortex-A55, which is actively used by chip manufacturers. The new energy efficient core delivers 35% performance improvement over Cortex-A55 while being 20% ​​more energy efficient. Arm says the Cortex-A510 is ahead of the Cortex-A57 and is one step ahead of the Cortex-A73. The performance of machine learning has increased 3 times, in this regard, the new product outperforms the Cortex-A78. As for the Cortex-A710, this core is replacing the Cortex-A78.

The Mali-G710 GPU is the successor to the Mali-G78 that offers improved performance and 20% more energy efficiency. It was built using the third generation Valhall architecture.

Another major decision for all announced GPUs is the move to the so-called Command Flow Interface (CSF), replacing the Mali Task Scheduler that has been used since the earliest Mali GPUs. It contains Vulkan related improvements, new GPU firmware, lower latency and lower resource consumption. Mali-G710 will be available with 7-16 shader cores.

The Mali-G610 is an analogue of the Mali-G710, but with fewer cores, from 1 to 6. The Mali-G310 GPU is designed for wearable devices.
