ARM continues to evolve its graphics processor architecture to offer new levels of performance and energy efficiency. The company’s latest design, the Mali-G76 promises to improve performance in the most demanding games by up to 50%, while maintaining tight power consumption.
ARM Mali-G76 offers 50% higher gaming performance
The new Mali-G72 GPU sees its SIMD unit grow from four threads to eight threads with the ability to perform calculations in decimal operations, making the new design capable of delivering more raw processing power. Other improvements include a new texturing unit that can now generate twice as many textures and pixels in each clock cycle. All these improvements have been possible thanks to the use of a 10 nm lithograph, which allows increasing the number of transistors while maintaining the size of the area.
The Mali-G76 is based on a highly scalable design, which allows the creation of GPUs with up to 20 processing cores, all with a power consumption of only 2.3 W at full power, making it one of the most energy efficient designs. A 20-core Mali-G76 offers 480 execution lanes compared to 384 execution lanes in a 32-core Mali-G72 configuration. Therefore, the maximum yield can be increased by up to 25 percent. Mobile GPUs are evolving by leaps and bounds, giving smartphone gaming an increasingly realistic and sophisticated graphics experience.
We’ll still have to wait a bit to see this new GPU in action, it looks great on paper.
