The newest top-end mobile GPU unveiled by ARM is the Mali-G710, likely to form part of upcoming SoCs such as the Dimensity 2000. However, the chipset IP colossus has now hinted at its successor, rated to improve further on the potential gains of the G710. Then again, the company has yet to offer many metrics or indicators of its apparent relative superiority over current cutting-edge smartphone graphics.

The latest and most powerful crop of ARM's mobile GPUs included the Mali-G78, a variant of which is found in the new Tensor processor designed for Google's new Pixel 6 smartphones. However, the chip architecture-maker has also recently announced its successor, the Mali-G710.

It could be thought of as the graphics counterpart of the upcoming Cortex-X2 core, and may thus play an important role in next-gen flagship-grade chipsets such as the potentially competitive MediaTek Dimensity 2000. Nevertheless, ARM is forging right ahead with presentations that allude to a successor to the G710.

It is already rated for an overall performance boost of 30% over that GPU, which is rated for analogous improvements of 35% over the Mali-G78 in turn. ARM has also reportedly revealed that it is capable of single-precision floating-point (or FP32) speeds of 4.7 times higher than those of the existing Mali-G76 GPU. 

Then again, this apparent significant upgrade may not be unveiled in full until 2022, and even lacks for a final product name at present.
