Recently, with the continuous development of technology, modern PC and gaming console users have already enjoyed many advantages brought by machines in 3D graphics processing. Now, Arm is planning to introduce these advanced technologies into the mobile device field, launching a series of AI-based algorithms aimed at real-time improving the graphics quality of smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices.

Arm has introduced a new "neural" technology, which is called "industry-first," aiming to achieve near-PC-level visual effects on mobile devices. The first practical application of this technology is "Neural Super Sampling" (NSS), an algorithm that can significantly enhance graphics. According to Arm's introduction, developers can double the resolution by adding only 4 milliseconds of rendering time per frame. This means that by rendering frames at a resolution of 540p, users can experience visuals close to 1080p.

In addition, Arm states that this technology can reduce the GPU workload by up to 50%, thus significantly reducing power consumption or increasing the frame rate. The inspiration for this technology comes from NVIDIA's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology launched as early as 2019, and Arm's NSS provides similar image quality improvement effects. Arm's NSS technology is based on the "Precision Super Resolution" method, which is also based on AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 2 graphical enhancement technology, which has been applied in multiple games such as "Fortnite" and "Infinite Miracle."

To help developers better use this technology, Arm has also launched a neural graphics development kit (NSS) specifically designed for mobile devices. This development kit provides all the tools developers need, including Unreal Engine plugins, a Vulkan simulator on PCs, and updated analysis tools. At the same time, Arm plans to release the complete AI model of its neural upgrade technology under an open-source license through GitHub and Hugging Face.

In addition to NSS and the neural development kit, Arm is actively developing other AI-based graphics technologies, such as Neural Frame Rate Enhancement, Neural Super Sampling, and Denoising (Path Tracing). Arm expects these new technologies to be released around 2026, providing application developers with more possibilities and better support at that time.
