iOS 4.3 is one of the hottest topic today and people are just going deep and deep day by day trying to discover the secrets in it. One of the new discoveries includes a new driver for Imagination Technologies’ POWERVR SGX543 GPU. Apple’s iOS devices have leveraged the POWERVR SGX535 graphics processor. MacRumors summarizes the benefits of the SGX543 over the SGX535:
“The SGX543 is said to deliver performance of 35 million polygons per second and a filtrate of 1 billion pixels per second when running at 200 MHz, compared to 28 million polygons per second and a filtrate of 500 million pixels for the SGX535 running at the same clock speed. In addition, the SGX543 offers support for the Apple-backed OpenCL specification that allows applications to harness untapped potential of both CPUs and GPUs for processing purposes. Finally, the SGX543 support multi-core configurations allowing for even greater performance.”
iOS 4.3 is giving rise to a lot of things and this new chip will most probably work with the upcoming chip by Apple for iPhone 5 and iPad 2. Let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint us in the end
