Overview

As well as outstanding performance for conventional rasterised graphics IMG CXT introduces the revolutionary PowerVR Photon architecture, bringing high-performance, desktop-quality ray traced visuals to the palm of your hand. Delivering up to 1.3GRay/s, CXT-powered devices will bring features such as ray traced shadows, reflections, global illumination, and ambient occlusion with high frame rates to users on the go.

Key features

  • 1.3GRay/s Ray tracing performance per core
  • 50% More geometry and compute capability
  • 1.5TFLOPS FP32 performance per core

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.

[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

Tape-out Risk in the Age of Edge AI: The Case for GPU IP

A full SoC tape-out at 5nm approaches $400M in fully loaded, non-recurring engineering and mask costs. At 3nm, estimates push past $600M. Every IP block on that die is a commitment to a set of assumptions about what the silicon will need to do. In AI, those assumptions have a shorter shelf life than they used to.

What Does a GPU Have to Do With Automotive Security?

The automotive industry is undergoing the most significant transformation since the advent of electronics in cars. Vehicles are becoming software-defined, connected, AI-driven, and continuously updated. This evolution brings extraordinary new capability – but it also brings greater levels of cybersecurity and functional-safety risks.

How Alternate Geometry Processing Enables Better Multi-Core GPU Scaling

Scaling GPU performance across multiple cores sounds simple in theory: add more cores, get more performance. In practice, it’s one of the toughest challenges in graphics architecture. While some workloads scale well thanks to their independent nature, some workloads, especially geometry processing, introduce order dependencies that make linear performance scaling a tricky problem to solve for every GPU architecture in the industry.
