Back in the high-performance game
My first encounter with the PowerVR GPU was helping the then VideoLogic launch boards for Matrox in Europe. Not long after I joined the company, working on the rebrand to Imagination Technologies and promoting both our own VideoLogic-branded boards and those of our partners using ST’s Kyro processors.

Then for nearly 20 years, we were focused on mobile, which has been a heck of a ride (and I’m delighted to say that we increased our share in mobile this year again) and moved into automotive and TV—but we had no desktop partners.
