Graphics Processors
Graphics processors that power iconic products
PowerVR graphics processors enable a cutting-edge, power-efficient and flexible solution for all forms of multimedia processing, including 3D and 2D graphics as well as high performance GPU compute all in the same unified engine. Our graphics technologies are the de-facto standard for mobile and embedded GPUs.
Powering the most demanding gaming environments
Shining a Light on Ray Tracing
PowerVR Ray Tracing is a revolutionary 3D graphics technology that mimics how light behaves in the real world to create visuals with astonishing realism, while also enabling developers and content creators to simplify their workflow.
Enhancing infotainment and driver-assist experiences
For more than a decade our GPU cores have been found in the some of the leading automotive application processors from the likes of Renesas, Texas Instruments and Socionext. We have enabled both powerful graphics to drive the increasing screen and resolution needs of the car OEMs coupled with support for leading-edge graphics APIs such as Vulkan and OpenGL ES 3.x.
PowerVR graphics processors and architectures
PowerVR Series9XEP
