The Cortex-A 72 is a 16 nm processARMv8-A architectureIt fully supports backward compatibility to existing 32-bit software while fully adapting to 64-bit by adoption. In addition, ARMv8-A adopts correspondence to the memory of 4GB or more and encryption technology.


The Cortex-A 72 is the current model with a maximum frequency of 2.5 GHzCortex-A15The power consumption can be drastically reduced by as much as 75% while achieving 3.5 times the performance.Cortex-A 53So-called "Big.LITTLECombining performance and power saving with a configuration.


We are moving forward to ARMv8-AAndroid 5.0 (Lollipop)Terminals are most likely to benefit from Cortex - A 72, and ARM says they are hoping for the adoption of Cortex - A 72 on Android 5.0 terminals in high - priced premium markets amongst them.


ARM is a Cortex-A 72 mobile GPU "Mali-T 880We also announced the current modelMali-T 760It is said that the graphic performance is 1.8 times and the power consumption reduction of 40% is realized compared with the graphic performance. Also, the Mali - T 880 supports 10 - bit YUV. currentMali-V 550·Mali-DP 550Completely complemented, it corresponds to the 4K movie of 120 fps.


ARM is said to be able to offer "Premium Mobile Experience" with Cortex-A 72 and Mali-T 880, and plans to offer CPU / GPU to Qualcomm, NVIDIA, Apple and other partner companies in 2015. In 2016, smartphones and tablet terminals realizing dramatic performance improvement and power saving are likely to appear one after another.
