ARM officially announced its new Immortalis G925 GPU for mobile devices. A successor to the G720 that launched last year, the new GPU is built on the chipmaker’s 5th generation GPU architecture, which also includes the Mali G725 and G625 GPUs for mobile devices.
“When compared on Arm Reference Platforms, Immortalis-G925 delivers 37% better performance (fps) than Immortalis-G720. Moreover, when providing gaming performance on par with Immortalis-G720, Immortalis G925 uses 30% less power.”
Specs-wise, the new Immortalis G925 offers 24-cores, up from 16-cores in the previous generation GPUs. “The number of shader cores is scaled across our new GPUs. Immortalis-G925 is configured with 10 cores or more for high-performance consumer technology markets, like flagship smartphones. Mali-G725 scales between six to nine cores and is targeted for premium mobile handsets. However, it still offers the same API support as Immortalis-G925, while delivering a compelling and immersive gaming experience for lower device tiers not targeted by Immortalis-G925. Mali-G625 is scalable between one and five cores and targets smartwatches and entry-level mobile devices.”
AI performance improvement is also a key factor with the Immortalis G925 GPU, with ARM saying that its new mobile GPU is 34% faster in inference for AI and ML networks, compared to the G720.
“Through Immortalis G925, Mali G725 and Mali G625, we are targeting a broad spectrum of consumer devices across different tiers, from flagship to entry-level, where we are seeing ever-increasing consumer and partner demands for more immersive mobile gaming and AI-based experiences.”
