#arm cortex-x4

ARM has just announced three chipsets: the small Cortex-A520, medium Cortex-A720, and the Cortex-X4 - the big chip. ARM's Cortex-X4 plans to tackle 15% higher performance than their X3 as they have dubbed this as their fastest CPU core with clock speeds of 3.4GHz. Additionally, ARM revealed the G720, a second-generation Immortalis GPU designed for high-end devices. The next CPU and GPU from ARM are anticipated to debut later this year and in the first quarter of 2024. If you're familiar with the 1GHz ARM Cortex-A8 that powers the Samsung Wave and Galaxy S including the new Archos Android tablets, then it's going to be easy to imagine what a dual Cortex-A15 running up to 2.5GHz would look like. Samsung also announced a few days ago that they're shipping their new dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 1GHz starting 4th quarter of this year. ARM's dual-core Cortex-A15 MPCore can reach clock speeds of up to 2.5GHz and should be available by 2012. For the meantime, expect a lot of new smartphones and tablet to run the top-of-the-line ARM Cortex-A8 1GHz and possibly new Android smartphones from Samsung running their dual-core Cortex-A9 that's capable of full HD 1080p playback.
