At Vision Day in March 2021, Arm introduced the new Armv9 architecture. This was a momentous occasion in our recent history and will be the foundation of the next decade of compute. Bringing more performance, machine learning (ML), DSP, and security to empower our partners to deliver best-in-class solutions for all workloads and applications across all markets. Building on this bold vision for the future of compute, we are delighted to announce the first Armv9 Cortex CPUs targeting a wide range of consumer devices for a variety of workloads and use cases. These CPUs are designed to push to limits of performance and efficiency and are tuned to deliver exceptional user experiences.

The new Armv9 Cortex CPUs are the foundation of our wider Total Compute strategy. This takes a holistic system approach to SoC design to ensure our solutions can seamlessly and securely handle ever more complex and compute intensive workloads and use cases. This is particularly relevant with the proliferation of more consumer devices, use cases and ‘killer apps’ that require more powerful compute resources. The Total Compute strategy focuses on three pillars – accelerating compute performance, expanding security through greater protections across the ecosystem and improved developer access to more performant software and tools.

In 2020, we launched the Cortex-X Custom (CXC) program as part of our relentless drive for peak performance. The CXC program enables customization and differentiation beyond the traditional roadmap of Arm Cortex products, offering our partners a way to deliver the ultimate performance required for their specific use cases. This year, as part of the CXC program, we are announcing a second-generation Cortex-X CPU – Arm Cortex-X2, which is designed for ultimate performance, making it our most performant ArmV9 CPU.
