In December 2019 (in what seemed like a different world) we announced IMG A-Series, which, as the fastest GPU IP ever created, we were proud to describe as, “The GPU of Everything.” We were perhaps a little premature with that naming as with the arrival of IMG B-Series we have a GPU range that is ideal for everything – and more! OK, that might not make sense, but Buzz Lightyear’s “to infinity and beyond!”, catchphrase was equally nonsensical, and everyone loves him!

As ever, we have our three-standard ranges of GPU, so for B-Series, that’s BXE, BXM and BXT, representing the entry-level, mid-range and the high-end. This time they are joined by a fourth – the BXS – our cores focused on automotive safety. We’ve already announced the XS-family for automotive, and BXS marks the first available cores for that market.
