ARM just recently dropped a hint regarding what their next smartphones and PCs will be offering. The company launched a next-generation CPU called the Cortex-X3 along with another next-gen GPU architecture with the code-name Immortalis.
ARM Cortex-X3 and Its 34% Additional Laptop Performance
According to the story by PC World, Arm is claiming that the new Cortex-X3 is capable of 34% more laptop performance compared to its current architecture. The new Cortex-X3 is considered ARM's next-gen performance core.
The technology is reportedly designed for both smartphones and PCs. ARM reportedly announced both the Cortex-A715 and the Cortex-A510 efficiency core. This was part of the "big-little" architecture that functions by splitting the workload of a PC or a smartphone between "big" cores as well as "little" cores.
Cortex-A510 CPU Cores and Where They Could be Used
As per Sam Mobile, the Cortex-A510 CPU cores could be used in different chipsets like the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the Exynos 2300, and even the next-gen flagship chipsets of MediaTek.
The big cores are what give the technology its power and the little cores are what give it its energy-efficient properties. ARM executives noted that the brand new Cortex-A715 is said to be as powerful as the Cortex-X1 performance core.
Immortalis GPUs were Announced and Could Compete with AMD and NVIDIA
Immortalis GPUs were also announced and will be defined by a new capability for the ARM GPU including hardware-based ray tracing, which will allow the smartphone GPUs to compete with the likes of AMD and NVIDIA GPUs when it comes to hardware capabilities.
ARM stated that they actually have no plans to release the Windows 11 hardware driver for the company's Immortalis line. This rules out the possibility of a potential ARM GPU sometime in the future.
AMD is Known by the Semiconductor Industry as an IP Provider
Executives, however, have decided to add the possibility of a more discrete GPU with the Immortalis line should its partners express that they are interested. The general manager of ARM's client business, Paul Williamson, noted that the new Cortex and Immortalis chips would show up sometime later this year and ship as early as 2023.
As per PC World, ARM is what is known in the semiconductor industry as an IP provider. The company provides licensing to its designs to silicon partners in order for them to manufacture and sell.

Cortex-X3 is Capable of 25% More Peak Performance
Company executives, however, have declined to give a comment regarding the partners' next plans regarding where the Cortex and Immortalis lines could be implemented. Mediatek, Samsung, and Qualcomm are some of the partners that take the designs by ARM and implement them most directly.
An article by GSM Arena shares how the Cortex-X3 is capable of 25% more peak performance and the Cortex-A715 is capable of 20% more efficiency.
