According to ARM, the industry adopted the concept big.LITTLE

According to the company ARM, introduced in fall 2011 concept big.LITTLE found approval among large manufacturers SoC. Samsung and Renesas Mobile have announced products that according to the current needs of selected core with enhanced performance and reduced power consumption. Another five partners ARM, including CSR, Fujitsu Semiconductor and MediaTek, do it this year.

According to the ARM, lower power consumption processors, technology big.LITTLE, up to 70% on the types of tasks. Reduce the power consumption is very important because the performance of mobile devices is growing. ARM gives the following data: modern processors 12 times the performance of the 2008 model year, and 60 times - the 2000 model year.

According to analysts, this year tablets will be sold much more than a laptop and will be shipped over a billion smartphones . In other words, consumers are interested in mobile devices, using them for a wide range of tasks, including watching videos, games, Internet access - in this context the relevance of technologies such as big.LITTLE, is especially great because they allow you to combine the necessary performance with long battery life.
