How Neural Super Sampling Works: Architecture, Training, And Inference


This blog post is the second in our Neural Super Sampling (NSS) series. The post explores why we introduced NSS and explains its architecture, training, and inference components. In August 2025, we announced Arm neural technology that will ship in Arm GPUs in 2026. The first use case of the technology is Neural Super Sampling (NSS). NSS is a next-generation, AI-powered upscaling solution. ... » read more

Cloud vs. Edge Gaming: Performance Gap Is Shrinking


Chip designers and gaming companies are scrambling to figure out whether the gaming market will tilt toward the cloud, the edge, or some combination of both. Multi-gigabit internet allows more people to play high-end games in the cloud, but edge-based gaming consoles and devices remain well-rooted, more secure, and private. Which one wins? So far, there are more questions than answers. Handh... » read more

Start Experimenting With Neural Super Sampling For Mobile Graphics


Mobile game developers around the world face increasing pressure to meet user expectations for sharper visuals, smoother gameplay, and longer battery life. Balancing these goals on constrained mobile devices often means making trade-offs. Traditional upscaling methods offer limited flexibility. Real-time AI rendering remains complex, power-hungry, or hardware dependent. Neural Super Sampling... » read more

AI Drives More Realistic Gaming


Video games are utilizing artificial intelligence to create increasingly realistic scenarios and interactions, enabled by big increases in processing horsepower and memory, and significantly faster data movement. GPUs, once confined to graphics rendering, are now also being deployed across a wide range of AI tasks, generating more realistic non-player characters, dynamic worlds, personalized... » read more

The Future Of AI For Games


Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of attending the inaugural AI and Games Conference at Goldsmiths in London, for which Arm was an associate sponsor. Hosted by Dr. Tommy Thompson, and borrowing its name from his AI and Games YouTube channel, the day really delivered on the promise of bringing experts and enthusiasts (and subscribers) together for interesting talks on the intersecti... » read more

Memory Implications Of Gen AI In Gaming


The global gaming market across hardware, software and services is on track to exceed annual revenues of $500B in 2025.1 That’s bigger by an order of magnitude than the combination of movies and music. On the cutting edge of that enormous market is open world gaming, where the driving goal is to give players the freedom to do anything they can imagine in a coherent and immersive environment. ... » read more

What’s Next For Semis?


It’s been a turbulent year in the semiconductor industry. 2020 was supposed to be a strong year. Then, the coronavirus outbreak hit. Suddenly, a large percentage of countries implemented various measures to mitigate the outbreak, such as stay-at-home orders as well as business and store closures. Economic turmoil and job losses soon followed, not to mention the human tragedy involved. M... » read more

5G Will Enable Cloud Gaming


5G stands to unlock opportunities throughout the Internet of things (IoT), from logistics to heavy industry, robotics to autonomous vehicles. Existing applications of cellular connectivity will find themselves enhanced significantly, while the lifting of traditional barriers to entry—speed, latency, network availability—will open up new applications and revenue streams that simply were... » read more

Foveated Rendering


Virtual Reality (VR) is becoming increasingly popular due to its ability to immerse the user into an experience. Those experiences can vary from watching a movie in a simulated theatre, having a look at your personal pictures as though they were paintings in a museum or finding yourself in front row seats of a huge sporting event. These specific experiences don’t stress the device hardware to... » read more

The Week in Review: IoT


Cybersecurity The U.S. and U.K. governments collaborated on an unprecedented message on Monday, together warning that Russian cyberattacks may extend beyond government and private organizations to individual homes and offices. The attacks may focus on Internet of Things devices, said Rob Joyce, the cybersecurity coordinator for the National Security Council, who soon after resigned from the Wh... » read more
