ARM Cortex-A77 CPU, Mali-G77 GPU and Machine Learning IP announced

ARM today has announced its new premium CPU design, GPU design and Mobile IP based on the all-new Valhall architecture and a new machine learning (ML) processor. The new Cortex-A77 CPU, Mali-G77 GPU, and Machine Learning IP promise to offer 60 percent faster AI performance on smartphones. These are the successor to Cortex-A76 CPU, Mali-G76 GPU and Mali-V76 VPU launched last year. Cortex-A77 CPU ARM Cortex-A77 is the successor to Cortex-A76 CPU and the company calls it the third generation DynamIQ ‘big’ core CPU. The A76 is supposed to provide a 20% IPC performance improvement over Cortex-A76 and also provide a significant performance boost for next-generation devices. The new CPU also claims to offer 35 times faster more Machine Learning performance and 15 percent plus more memory bandwidth improvements than the old Cortex-A55. Key features of Cortex-A77 Armv8.2 architecture AArch32, and AArch64 support 64KB L1 I/D caches 256KB and 512KB private L2 cache, and up to 4MB shared L3 cache. Mali-G77 GPU ARM also unveiled their new Mali-G77 GPU design alongside the new CPU design and Machine Learning IP. Mali-G77 GPU is built on the new Valhall architecture which replaces the Bifrost architecture used in the GPUs earlier. This new GPU claims to deliver nearly 40 percent increase in performance ...
