ARM Mali-T658 with 8 Core 10x Faster

ARM Holdings recently announced Mali-T658 GPU for smartphones and tablets, which can reach eight separate cores. ARM said the Mali-T658 offers ten times the graphics processing power of its predecessor the Mali-400 and is ideal for computational photography, image processing and augmented reality applications.

This chip is compatible with ARMv8 architecture, and is designed to work with the ARM Cortex processor and the Cortex-A15-A7. The new GPU also comes with support for multiple Compute API, and also support package for 64-bit scalar and vector, and integer data types. floating-point

ARM also explains that the chip is equipped with the Job Manager to offload from the CPU to the GPU, and can balance the load between the active shader cores.

This chip is also equipped with ARM CoreLink teknologiinterkoneksi Cache Coherent (CCI-400), which means that it can share data with other processors in the system faster and more efficiently.

"ARM Mali-T658 supports multiple GPU Compute API, including Khronos OpenCL 1.1 (Full Profile), as well as Google and Microsoft Compute Renderscript DirectCompute."

ARM said the Mali-T658 GPU capability to eight cores allows for energy efficient and flexible yet able to provide the processing power required by high-end devices. ARM does not provide time information when the release is Mali-T685.
