Nice write-up. Also I was curious when consumers might see this in their products, last line in the article says late 2017/early 2018.

- mtgx 9y agoCortex-A75 really seems like a chip designed to enter the PC market (Chromebooks/Windows on ARM), slow and steady.
- DCKing 9y agoIf current trends continue, Huawei (through their subsidiary HiSilicon) will be the first to launch a product with the new ARM IP. The Cortex A72 was announced in April 2015, Huawei launched the Kirin 950 (4x Cortex A72 + 4x Cortex A53) in November 2015 as part of the Huawei Mate 8. The Cortex A73 was announced in May 2016, Huawei launched the Kirin 960 (4x Cortex A73 + 4x Cortex A53) in November 2016 as part of the Huawei Mate 9. So yeah, my guess is on the Huawei Mate 10 with a Kirin 970 (4x Cortex A75 + 4x Cortex A55) in November this year. The market has become very iterative and predictable, and this ARM announcement confirms it. Don't actually give Huawei any money for this hardware though, their software update policies are horrible. The more interesting and useful implementations will come from Samsung, Qualcomm and maybe Nvidia in 2018.
