PowerVR demonstrate x2 to x16 core GPU chip for mobile devices!

[Pottsey]

What does that even mean? x4 capability of what? And what's PowerVR going to run at 2048x1536 with free FSAA? It will certainly make the screens behold a few years on and these mobile devices can barely keep up with on tablets look a lot crisper but it won't be running any games at that res unless developers strip out most of the ploygons.

BTW you said it 'would overtake desktop chips in a few years'. Well low and Mediocre desktop video cards from 7 years ago.

I do not expect anyone to read the entire thread as it’s so old but I did go on to say years with Series 6 chips being a massive jump up in power. I think I was talking about a x20 power increase for series 6 chips. We are still a few months to 6months away from my target goal of Series 6. A few years as in a few years when Series 6 hits it what I ment all that time ago. If series 6 comes out this year then that would cover me for what I said about a few years would it not?

As for what you said on x4 I think I was talking about x4 the power/speed, x4 as many raw pixels being pushed to high res screens but I have not reread the entire thread.


What you said about developers strip out most of the ploygons that is not what we are seeing. I thought many of the best looking mobile games run at 2048x1536 with FSAA without cutting back on textures or polygons.

While mobile chips are limited to a tiny power envelope it will take years for them to catch up with today's offerings.

Not if they adopt real time ray tracing before desktops which is a possibility even if a low possibility. Real time ray tracing is what I invested in next after the success I made in mobiles.
