ARM unveils new processor design for smartphones
Chip designer ARM Holdings Plc has unveiled a new processor blueprint with improved computing performance and beefed-up graphics aimed at smartphones and tablets to be launched next year.
ARM's new Cortex-A72 processor design and related technology improvements come as the smartphone industry struggles with cooling demand after years of explosive growth sparked by Apple Inc's iPhone in 2007.
Rather than making its own chips, ARM licenses its processor technology to other semiconductor companies, including Qualcomm Inc and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, as well as to Apple. It receives royalties based on the selling prices of chips shipped by its partners.

ARM's new processor has 3.5 times the performance of comparable chips from 2014, executives said at an event in San Francisco.
The chip design will also deliver a 75 percent reduction in energy use, helping reduce battery drain on smartphones, they claimed.
Some of the improvements will be due to advances in manufacturing technology at contract manufacturers like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd, the Cambridge, UK-based company said.

Nandan Nayampally, ARM's vice president of marketing, said with the Cortex-A72's increased computing horsepower, smartphones and tablets will be able to handle complex computing like voice analysis without having to connect to the Internet.
Many computer-heavy tasks on smartphones today are handled remotely in data centers owned by internet heavyweights like Amazon.com Inc, Google Inc and Facebook Inc instead of by the smartphone's processor, with results instantly sent to the device.

"There's more than enough performance on tap (for) increasing complexity on the local device," Nayampally said, adding that devices made with the new chip technology would likely ship in early 2016.
Ten companies have licensed the new technology, including China's Rockchip and Taiwan's MediaTek Inc, ARM said.
