ARM unveils Cortex-X3 (+25% peak performance) and Cortex-A715 (+20% efficiency)

29 June 2022
These are second generation ARMv9 design and both are 64-bit only. The little A510 core has no successor yet, but small improvements made it more efficient as well.

        You use industrial benchmarks for a sake of this and you compile them yourself if you want a real performance assessment.

          This sentence literally makes absolutely NO sense what so ever and it makes my brain hurt as I'm trying to decypher it. Benchmarks do not care about design or architecture and are not meant to differentiate. It just calculates how much time it takes to perform it (or it's based on number of operations it can perform within a fixed timeframe).

            I get the feeling that ARM engineers have run out of ideas. The improvements are coming mainly from the switch back to TSMC.

            865 + 870 were the last flagship chipsets made by TSMC (apart from SD8G1plus).

              There we go again....x times more powerful, x times more efficient. You people don't get tired of this crap you're serving us all the time? And it's about everybody in this business, chip makers, phone makers, even those who make Gorilla glass and give IP rating. That type of advertising is running thin already, most of people can see through the smoke screen, change a little bit the narrative. You can full the buyers for a limited period after which they'll never trust you again, no matter haw honest you'll be.

And one of the worst thing about geekbench is it fails to measure the compute number between different chip design even on same architecture type.

                And about Apple chips, I already replied a guy about it.

Apple design their SoC only for their specific devices, thus they have full control over their circuit design and performance with total optimization. Yet their SoCs are lack behind in many things. While ARM have to design chips considering all OEMs yet better in some ways than Apple chips.

                    Anonymous , 30 Jun 2022I wonder geekbench is still relatable to Apple fansWhat "Apple fans"? It's a benchmark that gives compute tasks to a chip and it spits out the score including individual results so you can see where each is stronger or weaker. And that's it. Apple simply has amazing chipsets for last several years. Given they use "only" 2+4 hexacore design and still having absolutely stellar real world results as well as numbers in synthetic benchmarks tells me they are simply on top of the game.

                        With all new brands emerging, I feel like a contender will appear and call themselves "LEG" and target ARM with their tech.

And for mundane tasks, even low power cores can be running in active use and not as background tasks only. Music player doesn't need performance cores and neither does an e-mail app. You only need those to start the app, while using it, it can work just fine with low power cores like A510.

                              Whatever. Meanwhile, majority of phones are still on old performance core A73/76 and ancient efficiency core A55.

                                Since many are ignorant of arm core's failure in recent years, you all should go check this and other videos.

                                https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HO46vmsS61Y

                                A710 and X1 X2 core are not doing any better than A77 or A78.
                                Basically just put 8 cores A77 and this would get twice the benchmark score of 8gen1 while maintaining super low consumption.
