Why is the ARM processor strong? (1)

Recently, ARM announced the first 64-bit ARMv8 architecture processor, which is a day for ARM companies to load the history of chip development, it also announced in three places around the world that it will launch the company's first 64-bit ARMv8 architecture processor, further expanding ARM's leading position in the field of high performance and low power consumption. In the original ecosystem, ARM promoted diversified platforms at an unprecedented speed of innovation and started the era of computing technology transformation.

The release of the 64-bit processor marks ARM's move from mobile devices to infrastructure and servers to fully support consumers' mobile Internet lifestyle. This will provide unlimited business opportunities for ARM's market expansion and user experience innovation.

In recent years, smartphones and tablets have become the main computing devices, and the computing capability of mobile devices has become a key factor driving the entire computing field. In the past five years, ARM has made remarkable achievements. It has improved the performance of smartphones by more than 15 times and changed the way users use devices. This release of the Cortex-A50 Processor family of products can seamlessly switch from 32-bit to 64-bit execution status, still can support the existing 32-bit applications, and provides a high scalability of 64-bit, to meet the development needs of mobile computing terminal customers and smart phones in the future.

Mobile Computing boosts data explosion

On the other hand, the development of mobile computing changes the infrastructure of cloud services and network interconnection. With the explosive growth of smart mobile devices and the emergence of application services, the generation and consumption of data content are greatly increased, and data is multiplied, it is expected to reach 2020 bytes in 120 (more than eight times today ). If enterprises continue to use existing technology, the disruptive mobile lifestyle will bring a great test to the network and data center infrastructure, the Cortex-A50 processor series designed to address these challenges, energy-saving solutions required for future infrastructure will be provided. The enhanced 32-bit execution capability will benefit 32-bit cloud server applications, while the 64-bit execution capability extends the applicability of the ARM solution, this facilitates new business opportunities in network interconnection, servers, and high-performance computing.

ARM has been committed to designing advanced core application technologies for digital products, from wireless, network and consumer entertainment solutions to imaging, automotive electronics, security applications, and storage devices, there are still many questions about the new ARMv8 processor. I will solve the mysteries one by one for you.
