But will this be enough?
The next Arm Cortex-X processor supercore may be so powerful that it will overtake custom implementations based on the Arm architecture.
A report from research firm Moor Insights and Strategy claims that the performance gain from the new core, codenamed Blackhawk and most likely called Cortex-X5, will be higher than any other generation in recent memory. five years. Thanks to this, Cortex-X5 can catch up with the cores that are created by various companies based on Arm technologies. First of all, these are the cores that Apple creates for its SoC Apple A.
Whether it will work out is still an open question. To understand, the single-threaded performance of the Apple A17 Pro in Geekbench 6 is almost 3000 points, while the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 or Dimensity 9300 based on Cortex-X4 cores can only score 2200-2300 points. However, if Arm manages to close the gap to a minimum, this will already be a huge achievement, and at the same time a great help for Windows PCs with Arm processors.
