◆ Immortalis
Arm describes Immortalis as 'a GPU designed for the best flagship smartphones on the market,' with gaming applications in mind. The first GPU in the Immortalis series, the Immortalis-G715 , is a Valhall GPU architecture -based core that is expected to consist of 10 to 16 units.
And the Immortalis-G715 is the first Arm GPU for mobile to support hardware-based ray tracing. The Mali-G710
Arm has released two demo movies of ray tracing by Immortalis-G715.

Arm states that using raytracing technology consumes significant power and resources throughout the SoC, but 'although raytracing on the Immortalis-G715 uses only 4% of the shader core area, Hardware acceleration delivers over 300% performance improvement. '
In addition, in partnership with the game engine Unity and Unreal Engine , it also supports the ' adaptive performance ' function that enables performance optimization by games. The following movie is a side-by-side comparison of the screens when adaptive performance is enabled and disabled.

◆ Mali-G715 / Mali-G615
At the same time as the flagship GPU Immortalis-G715, the new models of Arm's Mali series, the Mali-G715 and Mali-G615, were also announced. Mali-G715 is supposed to have a 7-9 core configuration, and Mali-G615 is supposed to have a 6-core or less configuration, and is a GPU for high-end / middle-end Android smartphones. Arm describes the Mali-G715 as a '4th generation Valhall architecture-based GPU for the premium mobile market' and claims to include a variety of graphics features and performance improvements, including variable rate shading.
Although the Mali-G715 has a 27% increase in silicon die area over its predecessor, the Mali-G710, the architectural improvements have increased performance capabilities by 15% and nearly doubled power efficiency, Arm said. ..
◆ Cortex-X3 ・ Cortex-A715
The Cortex-X3 and Cortex-A715 are the second generation of CPUs with the Armv9 architecture announced in 2021. Cortex-X3, which is the third generation of the Cortex-X series CPU for custom high-end, is designed to be installed not only in Android smartphones but also in PCs. Cortex-X3 is said to have improved performance by up to 20% and power efficiency by up to 20% compared to the previous generation by updating the Armv9 architecture.
Arm is appealing that 'single thread performance is 34% better than that installed in mainstream notebook PCs', but it is unknown what CPU the comparison target is specifically. is.
The Cortex-A715 is the successor to its predecessor, the Cortex-A710.
According to Arm, the Cortex-A715 is 20% more power efficient and 5% better at the same power than its predecessor.
In addition, the conventional Cortex-A510 has also been updated, power consumption has been reduced by up to 5%, and it is now possible to configure up to 12 cores.
Arm says, 'Smartphones are at the heart of our'connected everyday'. From games to productivity, through video calls, social media and virtual environments, smartphones connect us to everyone in real time. It's a device that gives us. Developers need higher performance to make these immersive real-time 3D experiences even more attractive, 'said TCS22 as a leader in the consumer device market. Did.
