Truly global illumination: ray tracing for the masses
In 2021, Imagination introduced the world’s first real-time, hardware-based ray tracing GPU solution designed to maximise the visual impact within the efficiency constraints of mobile devices. The challenge of achieving this performance-intensive task within the area and power restrictions of mobile had been cracked. Acknowledging that ray-traced graphics were set to play an important role in the future of mobile, other hardware manufacturers followed suit with varying levels of solutions of their own and the team behind the IMG CXT won The Linley Group 2021 Analysts’ Choice Award.
Our recent announcement is just as revolutionary as that product launch, which sent ripples through the industry. Ray tracing is no longer just in the hands of PC, console or hugely expensive mobile device owners: it is entering the mainstream. The new IMG DXT GPU features innovative technology that neatly scales our ray tracing solution to make it a great fit for mobile, whether from mainstream devices up to premium.
