Arm announces its new CPU core designs, alongside improved GPUs

Arm is a British semiconductor company that almost has a monopoly in designing and architecture of the CPU. Qualcomm, MediaTek, Samsung, and even Apple license the company’s ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) designs for their CPUs. And Arm has just announced updates for 2024 which include the next generation of compute subsystem, CPU cores, and GPU.

Arm 2024 Update Overview

Compute Subsystem

Firstly, Arm announced the new Compute Subsystem (CSS) for client devices. It is the successor to last year’s Total Compute Solutions (TSC2023). While both these subsystems follow Armv9.2 architecture, this time around the company has made some tweaks.

Arm CSS for Client

The company says the latest CPU cluster is designed with the current AI innovation in mind. The CSS for Client follows the coveted 3nm fabrication process. Moreover, the 2024 update of the Arm compute subsystem consists of two latest prime cores, four new performance-efficient cores, and two updated energy-efficient cores. Furthermore, it is also coupled with the latest GPU with increased cores and a larger L2 cache.

As a result of these tweaks, upcoming chips based on CSS for Client will see an improved peak and graphics performance of 36% and 30% respectively. Likewise, talking of usage scenarios, web browsing will be 60% faster, apps will load in ⅔rd of the time, and bokeh processing in photos will be 1.24 times quicker.

[All the numbers are drawn in comparison to the TSC2023 CPU cluster]

CPU Cores

Along with the entire compute subsystem, Arm also updated its CPU cores for 2024. Herein the prime cores and performance-efficient cores are going into the next generation while the energy-efficient cores have only been refreshed.

Arm 2024 CPU Cores

Prime core

Previously codenamed “Blackhawk”, the latest prime core Cortex-X925 is the successor to the Cortex-X4. Its naming takes a side step from the expected Cortex-X5. However, we do get 36% single-threaded along with almost 50% AI performance boost over the last-gen core.

Performance-efficient core

Similar to the prime cores, the performance efficiency has also moved to the next generation. Arm calls the latest of its mid-tier cores the Cortex-A725 coming from the Cortex-A720. It offers 35% and 25% improvement in performance and power efficiency respectively. Furthermore, Arm designed these cores to handle larger workloads while maintaining a sustained performance during AI usage and gaming.

Energy-efficient core

Amongst the Arm 2024 updates, these cores get the other end of the stick. This isn’t to say that there isn’t anything new though. The refreshed Cortex-A520 receives 3nm physical implementation as well as 15% efficiency improvements over the ones featured in TCS2023.

GPU

Arm also updated its graphics department across the board for the year 2024. It introduced Immortalis-G925 for flagship phones, Mali-G725 for midranges, and Mali-G625 for smartwatches and entry-level phones. The former comes with 10 or more cores and ray-tracing capabilities. The middle one has six to nine cores, and the latter makes do with anywhere between single to five cores. In the meantime, they all follow the 5th Gen GPU architecture similar to the previous generation Immortalis-G720.

Arm 2024 GPUs

While the technical aspects are there, Arm says there are two main focus areas on these GPUs. Those are enabling immersive visual experiences to support the mobile gaming evolution, and accelerating AI-based experiences.

Anyway, the Immortalis-G925 is the leader of the bunch and shares a space in Arm’s latest compute subsystem. As such, it delivers up to 37% better fps, 36% faster AI performance, and up to 52% better raytracing, all while consuming less than a third of the power.

Arm 2024 Update Implementation

Arm announced its 2024 update on 29 May 2024. It will be only a matter of time before we start seeing the implementation of this new instruction set on actual chipsets. MediaTek and Samsung will definitely apply this architecture to their next high-end processors.

However, Qualcomm is likely parting ways with Arm from now on. The American foundry acquired NUVIA in 2021 and will be using their in-house CPU design — Oryon starting from Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.

Why Nepal needs Quick Commerce in the current landscape?

Why Nepal needs Quick Commerce in the current landscape?

Quick commerce, or Q-commerce, has emerged as a game-changer in the current hassled and chaotic economy. This rapid delivery model is transforming shopping experiences globally, and Nepal stands to benefit immensely from this innovation. In this article, we will talk about why Nepal needs Quick Commerce. 

Quick Commerce in Nepal Overview 

What is Quick Commerce?

Its basically an evolution from traditional E-commerce to something that will provide you goods within an hour. Its main goal is to provide clients with goods like food, medicine, groceries, and other everyday necessities as quickly as possible. Businesses in this industry make sure that orders are handled and delivered quickly by utilizing technology and efficient logistics. This calls for effective routing algorithms, real-time inventory management, and a network of nearby stores.

The Global Growth of Quick Commerce

Quick commerce is growing rapidly around the world. People love the convenience of getting what they need almost instantly. With the rise of smartphones and better internet access, more people are turning to Q-commerce for their shopping needs. Busy urban lifestyles and the increasing demand for instant gratification fuel this growth.

Why Nepal Needs Quick Commerce

Urbanization 

More people are moving to cities like Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Chitwan. These urban areas are bustling with activity, and people have less time to shop in traditional ways. Quick commerce offers a convenient solution for busy individuals who need essentials delivered quickly.

How about the present? 

Athough there are food delivery services like Pathao Food and Foodmandu, Nepal still lacks quick commerce services. These food delivery companies do not cover the full range of products that Q-commerce can offer. 

Quick Commerce Would Change Nepal’s Economy

Introducing quick commerce in Nepal could change the economy. It would create numerous jobs, from delivery drivers to warehouse staff. Local businesses would see increased sales as more customers opt for quick delivery options. This shift could lead to higher productivity and economic growth, as people spend less time shopping and more time on other activities.

Limitations of Q-Commerce

However, quick commerce also has its downsides to think about. One big issue is the high costs of running it. You’ve got to invest a lot in fancy tech, building up infrastructure, and hiring and training staff. There’s all this stuff like setting up smart systems to manage stock in real-time, making sure everything gets where it needs to go quickly.

Another obvious limitation is the environmental impact. Increased deliveries often lead to more traffic congestion and higher pollution levels. The frequent use of vehicles for rapid deliveries increases carbon emissions unless sustainable practices are adopted. This environmental footprint is a concern, especially in densely populated urban areas like Kathmandu where air quality is already a significant issue.

Landscape of Nepal

Lastly, in a place like Nepal, with its rough terrain and far-off villages, spreading quick commerce services will be pretty tough. Places like Kathmandu Valley, Pokhara, Jhapa, and Biratnagar can handle it fine, but getting to rural areas is a whole different story. The bad roads and tough landscapes make it hard to deliver stuff there fast.

Quick Commerce in Nepal: Conclusion

Quick commerce holds great promise for Nepal. It can transform the way people shop, boost the economy, and create jobs. Starting with urban centers like Kathmandu, Pokhara, and Biratnagar, quick commerce can gradually expand, bringing its advantages to more people across the country.
