Our latest world-class embedded graphics processor, the ARM® Mali™-T604 GPU, has excellent memory bandwidth, pixel fill rates to make the mind boggle, and gigaflops of programmable shading power…

Taking an in-depth look at all methods used throughout the industry to compare GPU performance in the handset space as well as their accuracy (or lack thereof) is not an easy task. Uniquely this year,…

The ARM Mali-400 MP was the world's first embedded multicore graphics processor (GPU) when it was launched, back in 2008, and Mali-T604 continues that trend. Since then, there have been a number of…

In the first blog of this series, I claimed that as a GPU performance metric, triangles per second (aka TPS or triangle rate) is a chocolate teapot — i.e. utterly and completely useless — and talked about…

For the Second blog on this subject see Triangles Per Second 2: A Chocolate Teapot of a Graphics Benchmark.The practice of characterizing GPU performance in terms of triangle rate (triangles per second…

The internal details of ARM's Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression (ASTC) technology were launched this week at the High Performance Graphics conference in Paris, France. Tom Olson presented his…

At SIGGRAPH today, the Khronos™ Group announced that the Adaptive Scalable Texture Compression (ASTC) technology developed by ARM and AMD has been adopted as an official extension to both the OpenGL…

I'm just back from SIGGRAPH 2012, the world's biggest computer graphics conference, and (as every year) still breathing hard from the excitement of seeing the latest in graphics research. This year…

It's been a busy few months here at ARM in the run up to the launch of the ARM® Mali™-T604 Graphics Processor (GPU) at ARM Techcon. In the post-launch lull (i.e. returning to a slightly…
