Arm’s new C1 and G1 cores bet big on mobile’s hottest trends in AI and ray tracing

Wait 5 sec.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-ZW1LnKJ60Arm has just unveiled its next-gen processor technologies for upcoming smartphones, which could potentially land in consumer hands as soon as the end of the year. As usual, we have new CPU and GPU parts to cover, but there are also a lot of subtle changes to the familiar formula to get our heads around this year as well.That’s hardly surprising, the landscape has changed quite rapidly in the last twelve months. Qualcomm has gone down the custom Arm-based CPU route with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, resulting in fewer high-profile flagships using Arm IP this year. At the same time, Google has moved to Imagination Technologies for graphics, while the rapid advancement of AI has thrown a spanner in traditional performance metrics. Arm’s latest announcement moves to address at least some of these challenges.
