Thread: Imagery PowerVR G6200 and G6400 graphics processing unit cores revealed

Declared throughout CES, Imagination Technologies unveiled the first cores of its upcoming PowerVR Six-series mobile graphics processing unit line-up, the PowerVR G6200 and the G6400, mentioning that the respective 2 and 4 compute cluster IPs were prepare for instance licensing.


Not much is familiar about the innards of the fresh PowerVR Six, codename 'Rogue', architecture, just that it constructs upon the living 5-series and characteristic scalable compute clusters, every containing numerous compute cores, an raising trend as graphics processing unit tasks turn further generalized. What we do familiar is that Imagination Technology.


Is claiming 5 times the efficiency over the recent era with graphics processing units scalable up to 20 times or excellent function, with the architecture potentially capable of hitting the teraFLOP function rate; may be NVIDIA should not only be worried about maintaining up with Imagination Technologies in the mobile graphics processing unit part.




It looks as though the G6200 and G6400 will be targeting around the 100 gigaFLOPS mark to maintain within typical mobile energy consumption and size restrictions, however this would even create any SoC incorporating the technology function various times excellent than recent offerings.


With the Tegra 3's graphical core battling head-to-head with the recent-generation PowerVR SGX543MPii found in Apple's iPad 2, should the G6200 and G6400 search their path to the market sooner instead than after, they will have small to no competition and, rumors are floating around that one of these cores could be present in Apple's A6 central processing unit, to be boasted in the iPad 3, which is to be freed after this year.


The fresh IP will support the complete rate of standards, OpenGL ES 2.0 and the following 'Halti' standard, OpenGL 3.x/4.x, OpenCL 1.x, DirectX 10 and with few IPs supporting DirectX 11.1 practicality.
