Video
[Cinematic Demo] PowerVR Photon Ray Tracing
Presenting breathtaking ray traced visuals on the new IMG CXT GPU featuring the PowerVR Photon architecture. Demo is based on simulation/emulation and is representative of the achievable performance and quality of IMG CXT. PowerVR Photon enables an unprecedented level of desktop-quality ray traced effects, within a mobile power budget. The effects include: - Soft shadows: no hard edges in sight, only soft, coloured, shadow penumbrae - Reflections: the whole environment is accurately reflected, including both off-screen and complex animated objects - Global illumination: indirect lighting accurately modelled so all objects appear fully integrated with their environment, with colours realistically bouncing between surfaces
Applications
- Mobile
- IMG CXT represents the ultimate solution for mobile gaming and graphics, with up to 50% more compute and geometry performance per core compared to BXT.
- Data Centre
- The Photon architecture can be scaled to cloud, data centre and PC markets thanks to multi-core, enabling it to achieve up to 9 TFLOPS of FP32 rasterised performance and over 7.2GRay/s of ray traced performance, at 2.5x the power efficiency of current solutions.
- Automotive
- IMG CXT is ideally suited for premium HMI platforms for photorealistic representation of vehicles, dials and mixed-reality heads-up displays (HUD), as well as in-car gaming and other entertainment experiences.
