hello my name is Gary Sims and this is Android authority now arm recently made three important announcements the first was for a new CPU design which the cortex a 76 the second was for a new GPU design which is the Molly G 76 and the third was for a new video processor which is the Marley V 76 now these three designs will actually have an impact on products that we're going to see in 2019 and beyond so as consumers if you want to understand what these three announcements mean for you and for me well please let me explain now until you have notice that all three of these devices carry the 76 labeling at the end of them and that is to demonstrate something that a fad we already knew and that is that all arm components work well one with each other they are designed to be tightly integrated together now during this video I'm also going to show you some clips from the launch event with Rene has one of the senior armed executives so let's listen to what Rene said about how these components work well together so this is not only a set of IP at CPU a GPU and display control at cetera et cetera but it's really a cohesive platform it's a seven devices that are intended to be used together deliver the best performance together deliver the best experience to the end-user together so let's have a look at the cortex a 76 now the key takeaway here is that armor saying that for laptops for these always connected Windows PCs we're going to see double the performance that we see with today's devices now today's devices are using processes based on the cortex a 73 and they have phenomenal battery life I mean the reports that are coming out about The Bachelor life on these things is amazing however not everybody has been happy with a level of performance but with the cortex a 76 we're going to see a doubling of that performance in laptop devices so with that you see that starting with a 73 onto a 75 and the new product and I'll talk with a 76 we've had a tremendous performance increase and there's certainly lots of interest in this idea of an always connected PC so it's running Windows 10 it's got an ARM processor at its core and an incorporated 4G and later 5g modem which gives us this always 50 device with all-day battery life well the battery life is out compelling the fact you can truly leave your power supply in your backpack for the entire day is a reality now and will only get better this is what Matt Barlow from Microsoft had to say about this and devices of this type are our base PCs like you always get in PC that I'll definitely talk more about today that running did a nice job pitch I think are gonna create this new thin light always connected incredibly long battery life and all the benefits you would expect from Windows PC is going to be the thing people prefer it worked at school at home I just think we're setting ourselves up the technology for a large pivot in this industry mobile phone but frankly that the PC only devices - now our Mo's also share some technical details about how the cortex a76 can be incorporated in processors designed specifically for laptops and as you can see the idea is we're gonna have cortex 876 processor clocked at over 3 gigahertz and built on the seven nanometer process I'm also suggest that there should be a greater levels of l2 cache for the cortex a 55 processes that accompany the court is a 76 there should be large amounts of level 3 cache and there should be an optimized memory system that allows the processor to get access to that memory in the laptop as fast as possible now along with the new CPU design there is a new GPU design called the mali g76 and the g76 is offering 1.5 better performance compared to the mali g72 at 10 nanometers you're barely looking at better battery life and you're looking at cross-platform experience and by cross-platform here we mean the g76 can be used just as much in your smartphone as it can be in this always connected Windows 10 PC so if you look at the figures individually that's a 30% better performance density a 30% better energy efficiency and a 2.7 X uplift in machine learning performance now one of the things we all do on both our smart phones and on our laptops is watch video now video decoding when done in software is very inefficient and will drain the battery however when it's done in hardware it's incredibly efficient and incredibly fast and to that end arm of release their latest generation video protests sir the Mali v76 now the v76 is aimed at doing 8k 60 frame the second video decode that means it's got a two times performance decode increase it's 40% smaller and there's a 25% encode quality uplift now I'm also showed this amazing diagram which I think really talks about the power of the video processor the great thing about the Mali v76 is you can mix and match the things that it's doing so you could decode one 8k stream at 60 frames a second or you could decode two 8k streams at 30k a second or for 4k streams at 60 frames a second or 16 Full HD streams at 60 frames a second to talk about picture-in-picture here we've got for 4k streams being decoded at 60 frames a second all in the hardware without taxing too much of your battery life what I really like about this slide is this last entry which shows the video process is capable of decoding an 8k stream a 4k stream and for full HD streams simultaneously so here arm really are paving the way for future devices and for multiple streams of video on both smartphones and on laptops and of course on other devices like televisions and and other display equipment so in summary these three announcements are key for the devices that we're going to be using in 2019 and beyond not only are we going to see smartphones with better performance better GPU better video decoding we're gonna see Windows arm-based laptops with better performance but brilliant battery life and again better GPU better video decoding so it looks like the neck sort of 18 months to two years and they'll be very exciting in the mobile area and again making sure that we have synchronized products that are out at the same time same time the GPU is available the CPUs available is really quite important so you'll see platforms coming out in 2019 they'll be using the a76 cpu along with this GPU well my name is Gary Sims and this is Andrew authority I really hope you enjoyed this video if you did please do give it a thumbs up please subscribe please share this video on social media and don't forget to go over to Andrew authority calm because we are your source for all things Android
