ARM Processor Computer Description
Whether you call it a companion computing device or a tablet, the next generation of mobile devices has reignited the battle to build the best chip. ARM kicked off Computex this week by proclaiming that it will capture 50 percent of the mobile computing market-including tablets, e-readers, netbooks and laptops-by 2015. Several ARM customers such as Qualcomm, Nvidia and Texas Instruments have been discussing their upcoming processors for everything from smartphones to laptops.
The first dual-core Cortex-A9 devices are hitting the market now and quad-core A9 devices will be available starting in late 2011. Most of these range from 1.4GHz to 1.6GHz, though A9 cores can be pushed to as high as 2GHz. Dual-core Cortex-A15 SoCs at speeds up to as high as 2.5GHz will begin sampling in late 2011 and the first devices will be available in late 2012. This will be followed in 2013 by a new core design code-named Kingfisher.
At one time ARM used Imagination Technologies’ graphics processors, but its own Mali graphics is now on its third generation and is the most licensed GPU by units, according to ARM. The biggest win to date is the Samsung Exynos 4210 processor with a dual-core Cortex-A9 and Mali-400MP GPU, which powers the Galaxy II series smartphones. Up next is the Mali-T604, which ARM says will have two to three times better performance-good enough for “console-level gaming.”
