Компания Arm представила следующее поколение процессоров – Armv9. Новая архитектура предлагает три основных улучшения по сравнению с предыдущей: безопасность, ИИ и производительность в целом.
⚙️ Armv9 будет поддерживать технологию Scalable Vector Extension 2, которая предназначена для виртуальной и дополненной реальности, а также задач машинного обучения, таких как обработка изображений и распознавание голоса.
🔐 Технология Confidential Compute Architecture с помощью безопасной аппаратной среды, которая может создаваться динамически, будет защищать важные данные от остальной части системы.
📈 В компании также заявили, что производительность процессора увеличится более чем на 30% с дальнейшим повышением производительности за счет оптимизации программного и аппаратного обеспечения.
Arm ожидает отгрузку первых партий кристаллов уже к концу текущего года.
