Mali-G77 GPU
Bifrost was announced back in 2016 with the G71 core. Valhall is a major redesign, which promises 30% better energy efficiency, 30% better performance density. Also a 60% improvement to machine learning tasks.
What this means that late 2019 and 2020 chipsets that use the G77 core can expect an impressive 40% increase in performance,…
