POWErVR SeRIEs8Xe
Graphics processor technologies are the de-facto standard for mobile and embedded GPUs.
High-performance for entry-level markets
The PowerVR Series8XE family of GPUs drives cost reduction in entry-level and mass market devices thanks to a design that has been optimised to deliver the very best user experience within a limited silicon area budget. Based on the proven PowerVR Rogue architecture, it supports the latest modern APIs from Khronos, including OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.0, enabling developers to create the best user experiences for the lowest cost devices.
High-end wearables
Wearables are driving exploration into new display technologies, novel form factors and materials and new ways of providing information and feedback using the whole range of human senses. PowerVR Series8XE graphics processors provide proven solutions to complex compute and power consumption challenges presented by wearables while offering the best user experiences.
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 Series8XE graphics and GPU compute are key technology enablers for capturing and processing images from cameras in real-time for advanced driver assistance systems.
Smartphone & tablet
PowerVR graphics IP cores lead the market in 3D graphics acceleration for gaming, user interfaces, personal navigation and multimedia browsing on smartphones and tablet devices. PowerVR Series8XE graphics processors deliver a premium experience, while still offering industry-leading battery life and cost efficiency.
Designed for 4K
With support for resolutions up to 4K and configurations offering PVRIC3 image compression and 10-bit YUV, the PowerVR Series8XE is an ideal solution for set-top boxes and smart TVs. With cores providing various levels of fillrate and compute capabilities the PowerVR Series8XE can cater for complex, multi-layered GUIs that improve the user experience through increased visual fidelity, from simple UIs for small screen devices such as washing machines and thermostats to rich user interfaces for in-car infotainment.
Optimised for low area and cost efficiency
With support for the most cutting-edge APIs, the PowerVR Series8XE is the most powerful GPU on the market for its area size. As the industry moves to standardise on the Vulkan API, reducing the reliance on large CPUs, the PowerVR Series8XE enables SoC manufacturers to optimise their designs with impressive GPU performance within limited area budgets, while maximising overall cost savings.
Reduced silicon area
Up to a 25% area reduction compared to equivalent fill-rate configurations of PowerVR Series7XE GPUs.
High-performance
Up to 100% increase in performance/mm2 on industry standard benchmarks compared with competing devices.
Virtualization & security
Hardware virtualization and multi-domain security optimized to support multiple independent security contexts and execution domains.
Optional scalability
Features scalability for customized designs: users can select the specific features they need for their design such as PVRIC3 and 10-bit YUV for the STB/UHDTV market.
PowerVR Series8XE available in a range of configurations
PowerVR Series8XE features combine to produce a highly latency tolerant GPU architecture that consumes the lowest memory bandwidth in the industry while delivering the best performance per mm2 and per mW.
