Frequently asked questions
What is Arm Mali G2-Ultra NX?
Mali G2-Ultra NX is Arm's first AI-native Mali GPU. It combines dedicated Neural Accelerators, a redesigned execution engine, and an advanced ray tracing unit to deliver desktop-class graphics experiences within the power and thermal constraints of mobile devices.
How does Mali G2-Ultra NX compare to Mali G1-Ultra?
Mali G2-Ultra NX adds dedicated Neural Accelerators, a redesigned execution engine, and a third-generation Ray Tracing Unit to enable AI-native graphics and stronger traditional rendering. Compared with Mali G1-Ultra, it delivers up to 14% higher sustained gaming performance and up to 24% higher peak benchmark performance, while AI-native graphics workloads can achieve efficiency gains of up to 4x.1
What is neural graphics?
Neural graphics uses AI to reconstruct pixels, frames, and visual detail instead of rendering every element traditionally. This reduces rendering workload while maintaining image quality and enabling higher performance.
What are Neural Super Sampling and Neural Frame Rate Upscaling?
Neural Super Sampling (NSS) reconstructs a higher-resolution image from lower-resolution rendered inputs, reducing the number of pixels the GPU needs to render natively. Neural Frame Rate Upscaling (NFRU) uses rendered frames, motion data, and hardware-accelerated optical flow to generate high-quality intermediate frames. Together, they reduce graphics workload while enabling higher visual quality and smoother gameplay.
What is Neural Super Sampling and Denoising?
Neural Super Sampling and Denoising (NSSD) combines neural upscaling with denoising to improve image quality in demanding ray-traced scenes.
Neural Super Sampling and Denoising (NSSD) reconstructs a higher-resolution image from lower-resolution rendered inputs, reducing the number of pixels the GPU needs to render natively. At the same time it also denoises the ray tracing output to provide a high-quality final image.
How does Mali G2-Ultra NX improve ray tracing?
Mali G2-Ultra NX introduces a third-generation Ray Tracing Unit designed for increasingly complex mobile scenes. A more compact geometry structure ensures more memory stays in the GPU cache, while hardware-based Opacity Micromaps make ray-traced transparent geometry more efficient. Together, these improvements can reduce ray-tracing workloads by up to 70% and increase frame rates by up to 30% in tested workloads.1
Who should use Mali G2-Ultra NX?
Mali G2-Ultra NX is designed for mobile SoC vendors, OEMs, and game developers building premium smartphones and devices that want to deliver AI-native, desktop-class graphics.
