ARM announces its new generation of Mali GPUs for mobile

Mobile phone gaming is trending and having better graphics will improve the experience for millions of gamers. ARM has just announced the new generation GPUs from Mali for smartphones.

On the one hand we have the Adreno GPUs from Qualcomm and on the other hand the Mali ARMs that serve Western models of Samsung smartphones such as the Galaxy or Note. A new generation that will come from entry-level phones to high-end phones.

Mali-G710, the high-end chip

Yesterday we learned about the 12 games that await us from Tencent Games, the culprits that half the planet is playing games like PUBG Mobile and COD: Mobile, which is also safe. will benefit from this new generation.

We start with the top of the range and the Mali-G710 chip which replaces the Mali-G78 GPU. ARM said you can expect a 20% more power

This increase must be valued, because the Mali-G78 has increased its performance by 17%, its efficiency by 10% and by 15% in machine learning compared to its predecessor, so 20%, especially in efficiency, should be considered.

The reason for this significant increase is that the new GPU uses 3rd generation Valhall architecture with higher cores for shading, a redefined runtime engine, and a jump to 64 FMA per clock per core or core.

It was also modified for the first time in several generations to GPU Task Scheduler by a new one called CSF (command stream front-end).

It is expected to be available with smartphones using MediaTek and ARM argues that this is an ideal GPU for Chromebooks. While Samsung will take advantage of AMD for its next high end, we await further information.

Mali-G610, less than the top of the range

A chip inferior to the G710 in number of cores for shading. The G710 scale of 7 to 16, while the G610 remains one to six cores. The big difference between the two models.

Yes, it will benefit from the improvements of the new programmer for the GPU, the new The Valhall architecture and the move to 64 FMD per watch, so it is always a graphic to be taken into account for games when a smartphone carries it in its intestine.

Mali-G510 remains average

The GPU that will replace Mali-G57, present in the large POCO M3 Pro 5G that we have gone through the analysis, should increase the 100% efficiency, 22% efficiency gains and 100% machine learning compared to Mali-G57.

Available from one to ten cores for mobiles which will benefit from a significant improvement in fluidity and energy efficiency.

Mali-G310 for the bottom

Come to replace the Mali-G31 GPU released in 2018 to benefit from the new Valhall architecture present in the less efficient ARM model.

By bringing this new architecture and the new features of the G710, the low end of ARM will make an interesting jump in terms of performance to double the power of the G31. Mali-G510 and Mali-G310 GPU will have AFCR (Arm Fixed Rate Compression) to reduce loss of visual quality in games and multimedia content.

This GPU will only be available with one core, although manufacturers can choose up to 5 configurations depending on the area needed, be it power, area or efficiency.

This series of new graphics or ARM GPUs is usually seen for the first time in the mobiles that Huawei launches in September or October. AT MediaTek would arrive in 2022, while Samsung would stay with AMD for its next high end would stay with ARM for its entry or midrange.
