Arm has confirmed that it will be offering its next-gen Arm compute platform, called Arm CSS for Client, at Android smartphones. Executives also mentioned that they could be used for PCs as well. The announcement follows an earlier report that indicated that Arm might expand its traditional business model. Arm has traditionally sold CPU designs, not silicon, to partners like Qualcomm. Those companies have the freedom to adjust Arm’s designs — depending upon their license agreement — and then ask foundries like TSMC to actually manufacture the chip. Arm representatives said that Arm will offer “validated and production-ready implementations of the new Arm CPUs and GPUs,” basically maintaining its existing model. (An earlier version of this story said Arm would be selling its own Arm processors fabricated at foundry customers, which is not the case.) What’s new here is twofold: First, Arm is extending its services to include working with foundrieson 3nm chip designs first focused on smartphones and AI. Second, Arm is launching its next client platform, CSS for Client, led by the Cortex X925 extreme core, the Cortex A725 performance core, the Cortex A520 efficiency core, and the Immortalis G925 graphics engine with ray tracing. Arm is claiming that the new cores will offer the most performance yet, with a 36 percent boost in the Geekbench SC benchmark, running on Android. “We’re making it easier to build and deploy Arm-based solution and leaving nothing to...
