ARM Ltd. joined a growing roster of processor specialists zeroing in on artificial intelligence and machine learning applications with the introduction of two new processor cores, one emphasizing performance, and the other efficiency. The chip intellectual property vendor unveiled its high-end Cortex-A75 paired with its "high-efficiency" Cortex A-55 processors during this week's Computex 2017 event in Taipei, Taiwan. Along with greater efficiency and processing horsepower, the chipmaker is positioning its latest processors as filling the gap in cloud computing by boosting data processing and storage on connected devices. Along with accelerating AI development, ARM also is advancing its flexible processing approach that incorporates a so-called "big" and "LITTLE" processor core configuration into a single computing cluster. That architecture is based on the assumption that the highest CPU performance is required only about 10 percent of the time.
