At the heart of everything, we do at Arm is the need to deliver performance with efficiency. We need the performance improvements to enable and improve the range of digital immersion use-cases on mobile devices. These cover common productivity, communication, security and camera-based tasks, right through to advanced gaming, XR (augmented reality and virtual reality) and machine learning (ML) based experiences. However, we also need to be mindful of efficiency demands, such as shrinking SoC areas, new mobile form factors and demands for longer battery life.

The new Arm Cortex-A78 CPU represents the very best of Arm’s drive for high-end performance at best in-class efficiency. Cortex-A78 transforms next-generation user experiences on smartphones through double digit improvements for sustained performance. It provides a 20 percent sustained performance improvement over Arm Cortex-A77 CPU in the same mobile thermal power envelope¹. Higher sustained performance is important for mobile devices that have a limited capacity to dissipate power. This avoids power throttling for applications demanding a lot of performance, which improves the user experience by avoiding lag or frame-rate drops.
