- Arm is reportedly aiming to launch an Apple-beating smartphone CPU this year.
- The CPU is codenamed Blackhawk and will ostensibly be called the Cortex-X5.
- We’d expect the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 and Samsung Exynos 2500 to offer this CPU.
Android phone processors have generally played second fiddle to iPhone chipsets as far as single-core CPU power is concerned. Now, it looks like chip kingpin Arm might take the fight to Apple in this regard.
Analyst firm Moor Insights and Strategy reports that Arm’s next Cortex-X CPU could be the most powerful smartphone CPU around. This next CPU is said to be codenamed Blackhawk and will presumably be called the Cortex-X5 if history is anything to go on.
