ARM launches 1Gpixel/s GPU
ARM has launched a scalable graphics multiprocessor that can handle refresh rates of up to 1Gpixel/s. The Mali-400 MP architecture is said to offer breakthrough scalability, whilst reducing development costs.
“The battle for (the) consumers’ attention means that graphics acceleration capability … is rapidly becoming a must have feature,” said Michael Dimelow, director of marketing for ARM’s media processing division. “The ARM Mali-400 MP graphics solution enables our customers to bring scalable graphics processing performance to a wider range of product markets and more economically than before.”
Power consumption and area efficiency are claimed as key aspects of the Mali-400 MP GPU design. The ability to scale the device from one to four processors allows different price points and power budgets to be met, whilst using the same software stack across multiple devices.
