Learn more about GPU IP core
To meet the growing graphics demands, the industry is shifting toward scalable, shader programmable architectures. Unlike fixed-function graphics accelerators, shader programmable GPUs offer the flexibility required to target diverse market segments and at the same time ensure software portability and maintainability. Furthermore, adopting platform-independent stacks based on industry standards allows accelerating time-to market by developing applications on standard PC platforms before deployment to target hardware. TES Electronic Solutions in Germany addresses these challenges with the D/AVE NX GPU core. Engineered specifically for resource-constrained environments, it supports OpenGL ES 2.0 shader programmability with selected 3.x and vector graphics extensions.
Imagination GPU Driver 26.1 introduces key Vulkan advancements, including support for Android 17, enhancing performance and developer capabilities for modern graphics workloads.
Explore how the SpacemiT K3 processor combines RISC-V CPUs and GPUs to revolutionize high-performance SoCs for AI-driven applications. Discover the future of computing.
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.
Discover why the future of edge GPU design focuses on power efficiency over area, driven by thermal constraints at sub-2nm nodes. Learn about architectural shifts and Imagination's innovative solutions.
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.
