IMG A-Series: the GPU for generation 2020 - Imagination
It’s no secret that every year brings a significant advancement for our GPUs – after all, they are one of the things that we’re best known for. However, this time things are a little bit different. Yes, we are today announcing a new GPU, but we’ll come right out and say it – this year we haven’t made a significant step forward. No… this time we’ve made an exceptional leap forward. Today, we are proud to introduce IMG A-Series. It’s not only a range of new cores, but it introduces a new GPU architecture too. The headline figure? A-Series is 2.5x faster (or 150%) for the same area and same power compared to our currently shipping PowerVR GPUs. Normally, a 20-25% uplift in performance on an annual basis would be welcomed making this nothing less than an exceptional leap over to current shipping hardware, such as the PowerVR Series9XM in the Oppo Reno Z. This increase means we are inherently more power efficient too, and for the same performance, we are now 60% lower power too.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
