ARM Claims PS3-Like Graphics On Upcoming Mobile GPU

Posted by timothy on from the vapor-tastes-like-raspberry-foam dept.

l_bratch writes, quoting from the BBC, "'British computer chip designer ARM has unveiled its latest graphics processing unit (GPU) for mobile devices. The Mali-T658 offers up to ten times the performance of its predecessor." ARM claims that its latest GPU, which will be ready in around two years, will have graphics performance akin to the PlayStation 3. If this has acceptable power consumption for a mobile device, could we be seeing ultra-low power hardware in high-end PCs and consoles soon?"

  1. Tegra 5 by backslashdot · · Score: 1, Troll

    nVidia is commited to releasing a new Tegra chip every year. The Tegra 3, which is already out is 5x faster than Tegra 2 (which beats the Mali 400 which is at 1/10th the speed of the GPU ARM announced). So basically, by the time this ARM CPU is released .. Tegra 5 will be out .. and going by the roadmap of how fast Tegra 5 will be .. it will run at least 5x times faster than ARM's chip.

    I hope ARM prices this cheap dirt cheap .. so that sub $200 (off contract) phones can have it.
