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."

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.

Small apps you really won't notice a difference for a few reasons.
1. If it's a game it's because of the resolution difference, there needs to be a way to test the two devices with the same resolution.
2. Some apps really don't require a whole lot.
What you will notice the difference in, are benchmarking apps, apps that requires higher extensions(Such as Dolphin and Open GLES 3), or productivity apps such as Office or Google Drive apps.
You would notice it better too if there were better apps to monitor usage on Android like there are on Windows built in.

True, but for the average user, which probably means 90%, it´s just the same thing with a bigger screen.

Note one thing, no one of thoses slides, informations about the A72 speak about performance gain over previous architecture, but power efficiency at some arbitrary power level. Marketing slides are sometimes ( offtly ) a bit missleading
ARM is closing the performance gap with Intel quickly and efficiently than we all thought, which is after all a good thing. I am really amazed with such high performance that too with traditional power efficiency of ARM processors. All the best ARM.
