ARM Launches Cortex-A72 mobile processor
At the heart of this suite is the ARM Cortex-A72 processor, which is the highest performing CPU technology available for developing mobile SoCs today. In target configurations, the Cortex-A72 processor will deliver CPU performance that is 50X greater than the leading smartphones from just five years ago.
The ARM premium mobile experience IP suite also offers a significant graphics upgrade generating a stunning visual experience for users at up to 4K120fps resolution. Devices with this new industry-leading technology suite are expected to enter the market in 2016.
The Cortex-A72 processor will deliver substantial new benefits:
- Sustained operation within the constrained mobile power envelope at frequencies of 2.5 GHz in a 16nm FinFET process and scalable to higher frequencies for deployment in larger form factor devices
- 3.5X the performance of 2014 devices based on the Cortex-A15 processor
- Improved energy efficiency that delivers a 75 percent reduction in energy consumption when matching performance of 2014 devices
- Extended performance and efficiency when the Cortex-A72 CPU is combined with a Cortex-A53 CPU in ARM big.LITTLE™ processor configurations.
The new Mali-T880 GPU delivers 1.8X the graphics performance of today's Mali-T760 based devices and a 40 percent reduction in energy consumption across identical workloads. The Mali-T880 enables high-end, complex use cases to be enjoyed on power-constrained mobile and consumer platforms with its advances in energy efficiency, additional arithmetic capabilities and scalability.
The ARM premium mobile experience IP suite offers the most compelling mobile technology available today. Alongside the Cortex-A72 processor is the new CoreLink CCI-500 interconnect and the new Mali-T880 GPU, ARM's highest performing and most energy-efficient mobile GPU, along with Mali-V550 video and Mali-DP550 display processors. To further ease chip implementation, the suite also includes ARM POP IP for the leading-edge TSMC 16nm FinFET+ process.
"Our new premium mobile experience IP suite with the Cortex-A72 processor delivers a decisive step forward from the compelling user experiences provided by this year's Cortex-A57 based devices," said Pete Hutton, executive vice president and president, products groups, ARM. "For multiple generations, together with our partners, we have delivered the leading-edge of the premium mobile experience. Building on this, in 2016 the ARM ecosystem will deliver even slimmer, lighter, more immersive mobile devices that serve as your primary and only compute platform."

Do you own both? I've seen a massive difference just between an S3 and an S4 (though comparing Samsung phones in everyday performance isn't the best benchmark as the Touchwiz UI has always been a laggy mess)
They could launch a new processor every year if they want, but i still can´t tell the difference in performance between an S3 and an S5 for example.

Let s not compare phones please.
Here at guru3d wi do not compare processors for how windows runs on them.
Because you now, phone is a soc, but still touchscreen and flash memory and ram is paried by the vendor.
Also.. for s3 and s4 maybe he was referring to the snapdragon models?
With this power efficency maybe we will see soon 512 cores affordable servers
with all this virtualization fashion they could be a nice deal.

Not necessarily. The 50X improvement likely involves all of the following:
* GPU performance improvements (I get the impression part of their claims involves GPU, in a similar way AMD advertises APUs)
* More instruction sets
* Possibly 64 bit
* Larger caches
* Different pipeline structure
* Smaller fabrication node
* And the obvious multitude of cores and higher frequency
I'm not saying it has all of these things, they're just some factors that can improve the performance of a processor.
As an example: back in the P4 days, one of the reasons AMD was faster at a lower frequency is because they had a bi-directional FSB. It's stuff like that where you can have hardware that's worse in every way than the competitors yet it still has better performance.
Got it. cool
