GPU market trends – Optimal system integration

Lossless Compression

2560x1440 Phones and 4K Tablets

Images exchanged between SoC components

Consumes significant bandwidth & power

PVRIC typical bandwidth reduction to <50%

Optimised for GPU, Display, ISP and Video

Security & Virtualisation

Ever more secure content on devices

Single zone protection now insufficient

Security is an SoC wide topic including GPU

Native GPU support for high performance

Virtualisation needed in Automotive/Server

GPU is only one part of an overall performance and power optimised SoC system

Uncompressed 1080p

8MB Read/Write

PVRIC 1080p

Only 3.4MB R/W
