PowerVR Series8XEP

GRAPHICS PROCESSOR

High-performance compute and immersive gaming for cost-sensitive devices

The PowerVR Series8XEP family of GPUs enables a step up from entry level parts, whilst maintaining a tight focus on cost reduction. These cores are optimized to deliver the best user experience by combining the fill rate requirements for a great 1080P experience, with an increase in FLOPS performance over the entry level 8XE family, to allow for more realistic immersive gaming, more sophisticated computer and vision applications, and more complex UI implementations, yet all in a limited silicon area budget.

UHDTV and set-top box

With support for resolutions up to 4K and configurations offering PVRIC3 image compression and 10-bit YUV, the PowerVR Series8XEP is an ideal solution for set-top boxes and smart TVs. Providing various levels of fillrate and compute capabilities that can cater for complex, multi-layered GUIs that improve the user experience.

In-car navigation/infotainment

PowerVR enables automotive OEMs to take navigation, entertainment and dashboard graphics to the next level in factory-fitted and after-market navigation devices. PowerVR Series8XEP graphics and GPU compute are key technology enablers for capturing and processing images from cameras in real-time for advanced driver assistance systems.

Smartphone and tablet

The two-cluster GT8525 delivers improvements in sustained gaming performance within constrained power footprints, including for mobile AR. It enables greater compute availability, such as neural networks for object identification. The four-cluster GT8540 will deliver a premium, high-end graphics experience, while still offering industry-leading battery life.

GPUs for HD gaming and compute

Higher processing performance allows more complex apps, especially games to run at acceptable frame rates for increased visual quality on low-cost devices. PowerVR Seies8XE Plus delivers up to 4x performance increase for complex gaming vs. PowerVR 8XE family.

Complete graphics and compute support

This GPU family enables low-cost devices to not only benefit from graphical applications by supporting the most advanced APIs from Khronos, including OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.0, but its support for OpenVX 1.1 and OpenCL allows for compute and vision applications to take full advantage of the increased FLOPS on offer.
