New GPU and new 8K video beast

ARM introduced three things today. The Cortex A76 is meant for the 7nm CPU, Mali G76 GPU and Mali V76 8K video processing unit.

The company introduced the Mali G76 for people who like using stock graphics - read Huawei and occasionally MediaTek.

Compared to last year’s Mali G72, the new G76 promises 30 percent more performance density and 30 percent better battery efficiency while scoring 2.7 times Machine learning /Artificial Intelligence improvements. This is a comparison to the same manufacturing node under similar conditions.


Mali G76 has three execution engines per shader cores as well as dual texture mapper. The cores are configurable to customers’ needs from four to twenty shader cores. Of course, in this case, the more the merrier but ARM customers need to pay close attention to how much space on the SoC they occupy as well as on GPU consumption. There are configurable two or four slices of cache.

The last piece of the announcement was the Mali V76 video processing unit that replaces the Mali V61. This unit will target 8K existing scenarios and, it's claimed, will enable easier consuming and sharing UKD videos. This processor will help with bi directional streaming of multiple high-quality videos and high resolution AR and VR.
