Arm’s bid for smarter, AI-powered phones and PCs begins with Lumex

Here is a 167-word summary of the key points from the article: Arm's new Lumex CPU platform aims to power smarter, AI-enabled smartphones and PCs. The Lumex C1 series promises 25% more performance than Arm's previous Cortex X925 chips, with optimizations for 3nm process technology. Lumex will span flagship smartphones to PCs and tablets, with a four-tier CPU design: C1-Ultra, C1-Premium, C1-Pro, and C1-Nano. This expands on Arm's "big-little" strategy, providing a range of performance and efficiency cores. Arm's KleidiAI technology enables AI processing within the CPU, claiming 5x uplift in AI performance. The new Mali G1-Ultra GPU also boosts graphics, ray tracing, and AI inferencing compared to predecessors. Arm sees Lumex enabling more on-device AI, like large language models and game coaching, reducing the need for cloud processing. Overall, the platform aims to deliver smarter, more capable devices across smartphones, PCs, and other form factors.
