The Ethos-U85 delivers a fourfold increase in performance and a 20% improvement in power efficiency compared to its predecessor, with scalability from 128 to 2048 MAC units (4 TOPs @1GHz). This makes it suitable for demanding applications like factory automation and smart home or commercial cameras. The Ethos-U85 maintains a consistent toolchain, allowing partners to leverage existing investments for a smooth developer experience. It also supports AI frameworks such as TensorFlow Lite and PyTorch, enhancing its utility in advanced applications.
Arm has also launched the Arm Corstone-320 IoT Reference Design Platform, which integrates its highest-performing Arm Cortex-M85 CPU, the Mali-C55 Image Signal Processor, and the new Ethos-U85 NPU, creating a robust solution for next-generation IoT developments.
