Arm has announced the launch of its new Cortex-M52 processor, which is the smallest, most area and cost efficient processor to date. The processor uses Arm Helium technology to provide enhanced AI capabilities for lower cost IoT devices and accelerate simplified development. It provides a significant performance uplift in DSP and ML applications for small, low power embedded devices, making it possible to deploy more compute intensive ML inference algorithms in endpoints without a dedicated NPU. Developers can benefit from a 5.6x performance uplift for machine learning, as well as a 2.7x performance boost for DSP compared to previous generations of the Cortex-M range.
