ARM revealed its short-term roadmap, so short-term that its known future is until next year, 2022.
The most interesting of all the comments is that the company will stop supporting 32-bit architecture next year, although yes, only in the Big Cores, that is, in the high-performance cores. According to the company, its high-performance 64-bit cores will offer a performance improvement of between 15 and 30 percent depending on the workload, while in video games there will be an improvement in frames from 9.5 to 16, 7 percent.
"Starting in 2022, our Big Cores will be 64-bit only," revealed Paul Williamson, senior vice president of ARM's client devices division. "In game development, 64-bit can provide an overall frame rate boost of 9.5 to 16.7 percent," he added.
The Makalu cores, which will take over from the Cortex-A78 next year, are expected to be the first cores to abandon the AArch32 architecture, but of course, the small cores, the ones with the lowest power consumption, will continue to support 32 bits. , but not for much longer, as ARM also noted that it expects to see " 64-bit only mobile devices " by 2023, implying that 32-bit support will be phased out completely in that year.
