IT House May 29 news, Arm today announced its 2023 comprehensive computing solutions, including Cortex-X4, A720 and A520 and other next-generation CPUs, as well as Immortalis G720, Mali G720 and Mali G620 and other fifth-generation GPUs. These GPUs are all improved and optimized on the original basis, of which the Immortalis G720 is Arm's most powerful GPU to date, not only in terms of significant performance improvement, but also in efficiency breakthroughs.
The biggest innovation of the Immortalis G720 is the introduction of Delayed Vertex Shading (DVS) technology, a way to reduce memory access and bandwidth usage, resulting in power savings and higher frame rates. According to Arm, one-third of power consumption in high-performance games comes from memory access, and DVS can reduce bandwidth usage by up to 40%. Compared to last year's Immortalis G715, the Immortalis G720 delivers 15% better performance per watt, 15% better peak performance, and an average 15% increase in frame rate. In real-world performance, Arm measured a 20% improvement over the Immortalis G715, a large part of which can be attributed to the bandwidth savings of DVS. This means more immersive, advanced gameplay on mobile platforms, and even PC-grade effects such as real-time dynamic lighting, floodlighting, depth of field, and ambient occlusion in screen space. In fact, Unreal Engine 5's desktop renderer will also be available for Android later this year.
IT House noted that in addition to DVS, the Immortalis G720 has several other advantages, such as support for hardware-level ray tracing, variable rate shading, 2x MSAA modules, and more. These allow GPUs to better adapt to different gaming scenarios and needs, providing a more realistic, smoother, and longer-lasting gaming experience. The Immortalis G720 can have up to 16 cores, while the Mali G720 can have 6 to 9 cores (can not support ray tracing). The Mali G620 is a more suitable GPU for the low-end market, with up to 5 cores.
