Over a year ago, ARM introduced the Mali-G51 GPU for mid-range chipsets. However, it didn’t see any use, chipset makers stuck to G71/G72 and just dialed back the number of cores. Well, time for another go – here are the Mali-G52 for the mid-range and G31 for the entry-level.
Mali-G52
The Mali-G52 promises a 30% boost in “performance density” compared to a G51 on the same process node. Since bigger chips cost more, with G52 chipset designers can get higher frame rates for the same price or a cheaper chip with the same performance. Power efficiency gets a modest 15% bump.
