TLDR seems to be that next year's Cortex X2 and A710 are very incremental upgrades (+10-15%) over existing, at least compared to what ARM has delivered in the recent years. The A510 seems promising for the little core. Wait for the 2023 next gen Sophia-based designs if you can.
Given the industry's reliance on ARM's CPU designs, I wonder if it makes sense for prosumers / enthusiasts to keep track of these ARM microarchitectures instead of, say, Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 and Samsung Exynous 2100. Because ultimately the ARM architecture is the cornerstone of performance metrics in any non-Apple smartphone.
Conversely, it'll be interesting to see how smartphone OEMs market their 2022 flagship devices when it's clearly insinuated that the CPU performance on the next-gen ARM cores will not be much of an uplift compared to current gen. Probably more emphasis on camera, display and design.
- pantalaimon 5y agoIsn't Qualcomm going to release original designs again with the acquisition of Nuvia?
- TradingPlaces 5y agoThis is the most under-appreciated thing in the ARM world rn. Early 2023 probably for the first Snapdragons with Nuvia cores
- paulpan 5y agoI thought Nuvia's designs are for higher TDP products like laptops and servers, rather than mobile SOCs. But it'd make sense for both segments, e.g. scaling core count.

"The immediate goals for the NUVIA team will be implementing custom CPU cores into laptop-class Snapdragon SoCs running Windows" - Qualcomm’s Keith Kressin, SVP and GM, Edge Cloud and Computing

- wmf 5y agoX1/A78 is on "5 nm" and "3 nm" isn't available yet so the new X2/A710 will still be on a similar process.
