Arm has unveiled the Cortex-X2, its flagship offering that is meant for not just high-end smartphones but also laptops. The company has also brought its Cortex-A710 and Cortex-A510 CPUs under the v9 architecture, as well as introduced a new Mali GPU family that consists of Mali-G710, Mali-G610, Mali-G510, and Mali-G310.
Cadence collaboration with Arm enables tape-out of next-generation mobile designs Cadence Design Systems has announced that a collaboration with Arm has enabled customers to successfully tape-out next-generation Arm mobile designs.
According to Cadence, customers have successfully taped out mobile SoCs using its tools for the next-generation Arm mobile solution, which includes the Arm Cortex-X2, Cortex-A710, and Cortex-A510 CPUs, Mali-G710 GPU and the DynamIQ Shared Unit-110.
As part of the collaboration, Cadence has fine-tuned its digital and verification full flows on 5nm and 7nm process technologies to drive adoption of the new Arm mobile solution on the Armv9 architecture. In addition, Cadence delivered 5nm and 7nm RTL-to-GDS digital flow Rapid Adoption Kits (RAKs) to enable customers to achieve optimal power, performance and area (PPA) and accelerate time to tape-out.
At the end of March this year, Arm announced its first new architecture in over a decade – the Armv9 instruction set architecture (ISA). Armv9 was claimed to provide significant advances in security, performance, and AI – and now we are starting to see the first products that Arm will provide to customers based upon these new technologies. In summary, Arm has taken the wraps off the new Arm Cortex-X2 cores to target laptops, the Cortex-A710 performance cores, and the Cortex-A510 efficiency cores. In other closely related Arm chip news, the firm introduced a trio of new Mali GPUs aiming at high, mid, and entry-level devices.
