Overview

• The Lumex compute subsystem bundles new C1 CPUs in four tiers (Ultra, Premium, Pro, Nano) with Scalable Matrix Extension 2 plus a Mali G1-Ultra GPU.
• Arm claims about 25% higher CPU performance versus Cortex X925 and up to a 5x uplift in on-device AI, while G1-Ultra targets roughly 20% faster graphics and double the ray-tracing performance.
• System-level IP adds a channelized interconnect and an updated System MMU that Arm says can reduce memory latency by up to 75%.
• KleidiAI libraries integrate with PyTorch, Llama, LiteRT and ONNX to enable SME2 acceleration on the CPU rather than relying on a dedicated NPU.
• Optimized for 3nm manufacturing, Lumex targets wearables, smartphones and PCs, with partners expected to ship Lumex-based chips later this year or early next year.
