IMG CXM - Tiny Frame Buffer Compression
This video highlights a new feature and benefit of the IMG CXM GPU. IMG CXM is the smallest GPU to bring effortless user interfaces into homes. CXM builds on Imagination's Tiny Frame Buffer Compression with V2 (TFBCv2) which is the new state-of-the art compression technology. It delivers higher-quality lossy and lossless compression and brings an additional compression level (37.5%), allowing for flexibility in design. This enables device vendors to deliver an improved user experience at a lower cost. The demo showcases the memory bandwidth and power savings using TFBCv2.

Running OpenCode with llama.cpp and Qwen 3.5 on E-Series

Edge AI gets more interesting when a model does more than answer prompts. It plans, calls tools, and keeps working toward a goal. That is the appeal of agentic workloads, and it is why we explored running OpenCode through llama.cpp with Qwen 3.5 on Imagination E-Series. This blog explains the approach we took, why the software path was practical, what we optimized along the way, and why E-Series GPUs are a good fit for this class of workload.

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.

Imagination Demonstrates DirectX Gaming on D-Series GPUs

A GPU IP block with robust DirectX support solves a critical problem for new hardware designers: it removes a barrier to entry for Windows markets. Without it, even the most capable silicon cannot run mainstream PC games or enterprise workloads. In short, it makes your solution relevant to the largest graphics software base in the world.
