Imagination Technologies has licensed its latest graphics processor to Texas Instruments.
TI has signed up to use PowerVR SGX Series5XT intellectual property in multiple OMAP-branded SoCs for smart phones and other mobile devices.
"The increasing quantity and sophistication of mobile device applications puts challenging burdens on the industry to enable the superior graphics capabilities with the necessary low power consumption. said Remi El-Ouazzane, v-p OMAP business at TI.
Series5XT follows on from Imagination's Series5 core, with a second-generation universal scalable shader engine (USSE2) "that delivers significantly higher processing throughput of the earlier Series5 USSE shader engine, as well as other architectural extensions enabling low-power and high-performance for 2D, 3D and general purpose processing in either single core or scalable multi-processor solutions," claimed the firm.
