Arm boosts on-device AI with flagship…

Arm unveiled three flagship GPU chipsets designed to enhance gaming experiences on consumer devices including smartphones and XR wearables, highlighting capabilities designed to improve graphics and AI-powered mobile applications.

In a blog post, Anand Patel, senior director of GPU product management for Arm customers, explained that the new chipsets are based on the fifth-generation GPU architecture that launched with a wide range of processors in 2023.

The new chips are equipped with Immortalis-G925, Mali-G725 and Mali-G625 GPUs, all designed to deliver “immersive visual experiences as part of the continuous evolution of mobile gaming” and accelerate “AI-powered experiences in leading applications.”

Arm hailed the Immortalis-G925 as its most powerful processor ever, claiming it delivers 37% better gaming performance compared to the first-generation Immortalis-G720.

The new flagship apparently uses 30 percent less power and is designed to handle graphically demanding gaming content.

Moreover, the system “offers acceleration capabilities for a variety of AI use cases,” including image classification, natural language processing, and speech-to-text.

Patel explained that Arm has increased hardware interface support for the Immortalis-G925, making it suitable for “high-performance consumer technology markets such as flagship smartphones.” Meanwhile, the Mali-G725 targets premium mobile phones and the Mali-G625 targets “entry-level smartwatches and mobile devices.”

“We are focused on a broad spectrum of consumer devices at various tiers, from flagship to entry-level, where we see ever-growing demand from consumers and partners for more immersive mobile gaming and AI-powered experiences,” Patel said.

The executive added that Arm is also working with Epic Games, Google and MediaTek to improve various aspects of the mobile gaming ecosystem, including graphics rendering and battery consumption.
