News ARM Cortex X3/Cortex A715 announcement

[soresu]

ARM just announced their 2022 slate of CPU + GPU silicon IP yesterday, including the codenamed Makalu-ELP Cortex X3, Makalu Cortex A715 and a power optimised rehash of A510 (codenamed Klein).

It appears that a true successor for A510 codenamed Hayes is scheduled for 2023 to coincide with Hunter/Hunter-ELP big/bigger cores, and 2024 big cores codenamed Chaberton, all it seems in keeping with the mountain naming scheme.

There is also the obligatory new GPU IP Mali G715, and a new flagship GPU branding with Immortalis G715 - this flagship also has ray tracing on top of the Mali feature set.

It's an ARM reference design, it's not exclusively Qualcomm's baby. Plus I expect Qualcomm to have their own Nuvia-enriched IP soon.

That being said, ARM Ltd. is being very conservative. They are clearly not trying to catch up to Apple.

Oh yes, sorry for the mistake.
May I ask something?
The new designs will start being 64bit only. There will not support for 32bit. This means that transistors will be actually removed from the chips?

They were already removed in Cortex X2.
