Arm introduced its Armv9 Edge AI platform for IoT devices in South Korea, featuring the Cortex-A320 CPU and Ethos-U85 neural processing unit.

The announcement was made in Seoul by Arm Korea President Hwang Seon-wook

This platform enables AI processing on devices like smartphones and appliances, reducing reliance on cloud services.

Arm emphasized its goal of helping developers create AI-driven chips and solutions.

The Cortex-A320 CPU delivers a tenfold increase in machine learning capabilities and a 30% boost in scalar performance over the Cortex-A35.

It also offers an eightfold improvement in machine learning compared to last year’s Cortex-M85-based platform.

Production is set for 2026, with client evaluations already underway.

Hwang highlighted the strong presence of Arm’s solutions in South Korea and its commitment to supporting partners in building competitive products.
