Renesas Electronics licenses further high-performance graphics processor cores from Imagination Technologies
May 16, 2011 -- Imagination Technologies Group plc (LSE: IMG; "Imagination"), a leader in System-on-Chip Intellectual Property ("SoC IP"), has signed further multi-use licence and extension agreements with Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), a premiere supplier of advanced semiconductors, for graphics technologies from Imagination's POWERVR SGX Series5XT IP core family.
Renesas Electronics will deploy these technologies in future system-on-chip (SoC) designs for the mobile, consumer and automotive markets.
Under the terms of its licensing arrangements Imagination receives license fees and royalty revenues on shipment of SoCs incorporating Imagination's IP.
About POWERVR Series5XT
Members of the POWERVR SGX Series5XT Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) IP core family feature significant performance enhancements over the already highly successful SGX Series5 architecture. All Series5XT SGX cores are based on a second-generation Universal Scalable Shader Engine (USSE2) that delivers significantly higher processing throughput than the earlier Series5 USSE shader engine, as well as other architectural extensions enabling low-power and high-performance for 2D, 3D and general purpose (GP-GPU) processing in either single core or scalable multi-processor (MP) solutions.
