Apart from launching the Cortex-A78 and Cortex-X1 CPU cores, ARM also unveiled new ARM Mali-G78 GPU for high performance gaming, targeted for next-gen flagship smartphones along with Mali-G68 GPU as well, based on its Valhall architecture.
The new Mali-G78 will bring a 25% improvement in performance device to device in context to its predecessor Mali-G77 GPU, delivering ‘game-changing’ graphics and all-day gaming on mobile and supports up to 24 cores.Â
Additionally, the power- and energy-efficient Mali-G78 can help extend mobile device battery life, enabling users to enjoy their favourite entertainment experiences even longer on the go. Mali-G78 enables high-quality mobile gaming experiences, with console games now available on mobile.Â
Mali-G78 also brings a further machine learning (ML) performance boost, helping to enable more complex gaming, video, camera, and security ML features on mobile devices.
On the other hand, the Mali-G78 is a sub-premium tier GPU that supports up to 6 cores and inherits all the latest Mali-G78 features. This will provide high-end like GPU performance at lower costs for mid-range devices, great for mobile gamers who are short on budget.
Interestingly, in the ARM blog, there’s the mention of game developers like Unity & CryEngine which suggests ARM is planning to help these devs to bring their desktop-level gaming experience to mobile using their architecture. Crytek is also planning to bring CryEngine to the Android ecosystem, which is insane for game freaks like me.
