AI in Mobile Apps: What Arm’s Models Mean for Developers

AI in Mobile Apps is rapidly transforming the mobile technology landscape, with Arm’s models leading the charge in innovation.As artificial intelligence continues to evolve at breakneck speed, the need for robust hardware that can keep pace with these advancements becomes increasingly critical.

Enter Arm, a leader in semiconductor technology, whose latest innovations promise to revolutionize the way AI is integrated into our everyday devices.

By introducing revolutionary new chip designs and software tools, Arm is paving the way for a new era of mobile computing, in which smartphones not only keep pace with rapid advances in AI but also take advantage of all their potential to deliver unprecedented user experiences.

Advances in AI Capabilities in Smartphones

Recently, Arm introduced new chip designs and software tools to improve the ability of smartphones to handle AI tasks more effectively. These advances are not just incremental but designed to revolutionize how AI applications work on mobile devices. Arm’s new offerings are poised to maximize the benefits of core process nodes, significantly improving the performance and efficiency of AI workloads.

The Arm Compute Subsystems (CSS) for Client

One of the highlights of Arm’s latest announcement is the Arm Compute Subsystems (CSS) for the client. This edge computing solution is designed for AI applications on smartphones and PCs. CSS for Client promises a substantial performance improvement, with a more than 30% increase in compute and graphics performance and an impressive 59% faster AI inference for machine learning and computer vision workloads.

Pushing the Boundaries of Computing Performance and AI

CSS for Client is the fastest Arm platform for Android to date, with significant improvements in key benchmarks and general computing use cases compared to the TCS23 platform. These include:

36% improvement in peak performance, as measured by Geekbench 6 single-core score, thanks to the new Cortex-X925;

33% faster app launch times on average in five of the top 10 apps to increase productivity and deliver a seamless user experience on mobile devices;

60% faster web browsing, measured using the Speedometer 2.1 browser benchmark; AND

30% improvement in maximum graphics performance on average across seven graphics tests, including ray tracing and variable rate shading (VRS) tests.

Expanding Beyond Smartphones

While Arm’s technology is the cornerstone of the smartphone revolution, it is now making significant advances in PCs and data centers, where energy efficiency is highly valued. Although smartphones remain Arm’s largest market, with customers like Apple, Qualcomm, and MediaTek, the company is expanding its horizons.
