Arm aims to challenge x86 dominance with faster CPUs and AI-enhanced GPUs

Arm is enhancing CPU and GPU efficiency with higher frequencies and AI-acceleration, targeting 2025 for new platform release.

: Arm plans to challenge the dominance of x86 chips by focusing on higher operating frequencies and AI-enhanced GPUs. Chris Bergey, Arm's client business lead, revealed plans to enhance their CPUs and GPUs for AI workloads and better efficiency. The enhancements are part of Arm's next-gen 'Arm CSS for Client' platform, set for 2025. Legal disputes with Qualcomm remain unresolved.

Arm is targeting the x86 processor market by focusing on CPUs with higher operating frequencies and AI-accelerated GPUs. Arm's client business lead, Chris Bergey, announced these goals during an interview at CES, highlighting enhancements beyond current IPC capabilities.

Arm's GPU strategy includes AI technologies like low-resolution rendering and upscaling, akin to Nvidia's DLSS, to improve visual performance without increasing power usage. These advancements are expected to feature in Arm's next-generation platform, 'Arm CSS for Client,' set for release in 2025.

Beyond frequency enhancements, Arm is optimizing CPU designs on new semiconductor nodes, aiming for four gigahertz capabilities. Despite a recent court ruling, unresolved legal issues with Qualcomm continue to pose future challenges for Arm.
