Imagination Technologies introduces PowerVR Series7, the latest generation of the PowerVR Rogue GPU architecture and an entire line-up of GPUs which scale from 16 to 512 arithmetic logic unit (ALU) cores, providing unprecedented scalability, efficiency and performance.

Combining a 64-bit architecture and hardware virtualisation with scalable performance, a family of MIPS CPU IP cores has been released by Imagination Technologies (IMG). The I6400 family, which provides multi-threading, multi-core and multi-cluster coherent processing, enables customers to implement a smaller core at the same performance, or a faster core in the same area.

Imagination Technologies announces that its Ensigma Series4 radio processor unit IP core family is now available for licensing, and has already been supplied to lead partners. Ensigma Series4 RPUs (radio processor units) provide unprecedented performance and programmability for advanced yet flexible on-chip communications processing.

Imagination Technologies announces new details about its current and future MIPS CPU portfolio. Imagination has updated its current portfolio of MIPS Aptiv cores, extending each of the Aptiv families with new core configurations.

Imagination Technologies today announced that long-time MIPS licensee Cavium has licensed and incorporated the latest Release 5 MIPS architecture (MIPSr5) features, including hardware virtualization, in all members of its ultra-high-performance 1 – 48 core OCTEON III family of products.

Imagination Technologies announces its Caustic Series2 R2500 and R2100 ray-tracing acceleration boards are now certified on Lenovo’s ThinkStation D30 and S30 workstations. Imagination’s Caustic Visualizer family, combined with its new Caustic Series2 add-in boards for workstations, redefine price performance standards and the functionality of the interactive visual look development process.

TSMC and Imagination Technologies today announced the next phase of their technology collaboration. As part of this new phase of their relationship, Imagination will work closely with TSMC to develop highly optimised reference design flows and silicon implementations using Imagination’s industry-leading PowerVR Series6 GPUs combined with TSMC’s advanced process technologies, including 16-nanometer (nm) FinFET process technology.

Imagination Technologies announces the release of the latest version of its industry-leading PowerVR Graphics SDK (software development kit) v3.1. The new PowerVR Graphics SDK v3.1 fully supports the development of applications using the Khronos OpenGL ES 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 APIs on devices integrating Imagination’s PowerVR Series5, Series5XT and Series6 GPUs.

Imagination Technologies reports that at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2013 in Barcelona, many leading semiconductor suppliers, mobile and telecom OEMs, and key strategic ecosystem partners expressed their strong support and enthusiasm for Imagination’s PowerVR graphics, video and vision roadmaps, as well as the rationale behind the recent acquisition of MIPS Technologies.

Imagination Technologies announces that its PowerVR Series6 ‘Rogue’ GPU technology has been among the first to pass OpenGL ES 3.0 conformance with Khronos. Conformance submission has been achieved on Imagination’s PowerVR Series6 Test Chip on Linux 3.2.0.

Imagination Technologies Group has completed the acquisition of the operating business and certain patent properties of MIPS Technologies as well as license rights to all of the remaining patent properties.

Imagination Technologies announces the latest additions to its multi-standard, multi-stream video IP core families, the POWERVR VXD392 decoder and POWERVR VXE382 encoder, including support for H.264 MVC, WebM (VP8; decode), S3D (Stereoscopic 3D) and resolutions up to UltraHD.

Imagination Technologies, a leading multimedia and communications technologies company, has successfully completed the first phase of research into advanced System on Chip (SoC) software and systems design made possible by a funding grant from Yorkshire Forward, the Regional Development Agency for Yorkshire and Humber, and the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund. The grant was provided to increase research and developmen...
