Arm Announces Lumex Platform With C1 CPUs Boasting SME2, Mali G1-Ultra GPU

([Arm] 2 Hours Ago Arm Lumex)


Arm this evening lifted the lid on Lumex, their new compute subsystem platform that is purpose-built around AI for next-gen PCs and smartphones.

The Arm Lumex platform combines their latest AArch64 CPUs complete with Scalable Matrix Extensions 2 (SME2), the latest GPU IP, and other system IP along with an optimized software stack for a very comprehensive AI-focused platform.

The Arm Lumexp latform features SME2-enabled Armv9.3 CPUs such as the C1 Ultra and C1 Pro, a new C1 Premium lower-tier offering, the new Mali G1-Ultra GPU, the DynamIQ Shared Unit DSU, and deep software integration.

The Arm C1 Ultra CPU aims for +25% single-threaded performance and double-digit IPC gains YoY while below that are the C1 Premium, C1 Pro, and C1 Nano.

A big focus on the media presentation in advance was the guarantee that Arm Lumex will have Scalable Matrix Extensions 2 support widespread. About time seeing more SME hardware in the while and in turn will also help with increased software adoption. Just as AVX-512 and even AMX have proven very useful in the x86_64 ecosystem for AI workloads.

Those are the main Arm Lumex highlights for now. It will be much more interesting once having new Arm hardware in the lab for Linux testing and benchmarking.

One fine day, the bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus,
and drove off along the route. No problems for the first few stops -- a few
people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well. At the next
stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on. Six feet eight, built like a
wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground. He glared at the driver and said,
"Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back.
Did I mention that the driver was five feet three, thin, and basically
meek? Well, he was. Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't
happy about it. Well, the next day the same thing happened -- Big John got on
again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down. And the next day, and the
one after that, and so forth. This grated on the bus driver, who started
losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him. Finally he
could stand it no longer. He signed up for bodybuilding courses, karate, judo,
and all that good stuff. By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong;
what's more, he felt really good about himself.
So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus
and said "Big John doesn't pay!," the driver stood up, glared back at the
passenger, and screamed, "And why not?"
With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, "Big John has a
bus pass."
