Arm unveils 5th generation GPUs with Immortalis-G720

Arm unveiled its 5th-generation graphics processing unit (GPU) architecture starting with the Arm Immortalis-G720.

The Cambridge, United Kingdom-based company made the announcement at the Computex trade show in Taiwan.

It also said its Armv9 Cortex compute cluster delivered double-digit performance gains in its third consecutive year. And it unveiled its TCS23 platform for premium mobile computing to power immersive games, real-time 3D experiences and next-gen AI apps.

It’s all against the backdrop of Arm’s belief that mobile devices touch every aspect of our digital lives. In the palm of your hand is the ability to both create and consume increasingly immersive, AI-accelerated experiences that continue to drive the need for more compute, Arm said.

The company said that every year it will build foundational platforms designed to meet increasing compute demands, with a relentless focus on high performance and efficiency. Working closely with its broader ecosystem, Arm said it is delivering the performance, efficiency and intelligence needed on every generation of consumer device to expand our digital lifestyles.

Arm Visual Experiences

This year, the company is excited to announce that its latest GPUs are built on the 5th Gen GPU architecture. Designed as the most efficient GPU architecture that Arm has ever created, the 5th Gen architecture redefines parts of the graphics pipeline to reduce memory bandwidth enabling the next generation of high geometry games and real-time 3D applications, while also bringing smoother gameplay and complex PC and console-like experiences to mobile.

Deferred Vertex Shading (DVS) is a new graphics feature introduced in the 5th Gen GPU architecture that redefines the dataflow, which enables partners to scale for larger core counts and higher performance points. Already, Arm said it is seeing the benefits of DVS across many popular games like Genshin Impact and Fortnite.
