ARM unveils new chip designs that will power mobile processors of the future

British semiconductor firm, ARM, offered a first look at what mobile chips on smartphones will look like in 2022 and beyond. The company announced the ARM Cortex-X2, Cortex-A710 and the Cortex-A510 chips, which will become the blueprint for processors that run on smartphones, smart home devices, and possibly even laptops that come in 2022. The new chips are part of the ARM v9 architecture, announced earlier this year, and is the first time in over a decade that ARM has upgraded its core designs.

ARM’s name may not be as popular as Qualcomm, MediaTek, Apple or Samsung, but the company is actually the primary driver of chip design in the world.
