During a quick Q&A session with Rene Haas, CEO of ARM, the man gave us a sort of breakdown about his keynote earlier this week. Naturally, as with everything else, one of his key focus pointed towards an AI future.
In the sessions, it seems that Haas felt that ARM was at the forefront of what the experts believe to be a new “fourth industrial revolution”, which is again referencing AI, he believes that there was a need for better power efficiency of chips, and that that may be the next area of focus for the company.
It’s an understandable concern by the ARM CEO too: Virtually everything – AI-based hardware and software, machine learning applications, and HPCs – in today’s world, be it modern computing or gaming, have gradually become more ravenous. Understandably so, especially in the area of mobile gaming, with features like ray-tracing and supersampling tend to consume the most power. “If there’s anything we’ve learned over Arm’s 30-plus years, as great as the hardware is, if you don’t have something that developers can get access to, the hardware is not going to do you much good.”
On that note, one of the major announcements at ARM’s keynote was the launch of its new Immortalis G925 GPU, which we technically reported on days before.
