Imagination Technologies has formed a licensing deal with Innosilicon to integrate Imagination’s multi-core GPU IP in PCI-E form-factor into Innosilicon’s GPU system-on-chips (SoCs) for desktop and data center applications.
The IMG B-series BXT multi-core GPU IP features a multi-primary full-core scaling, to combine the power of all the cores for maximum single-app performance, or for each core to run independent applications. The GPU IP offers up to 70% higher compute density compared to existing desktop GPUs and allows for more flexible control over the configuration and layout of individual cores in SoCs and multi-die packages.
In addition to this licensing deal, both companies are exploring long-term strategic partnership to bring further GPU SoCs to market.
Innosilicon said its SoC will be a standalone high-performance 4K/8K PCI-E Gen4 GPU car that will work with 5G cloud gaming and data center applications. The card will feature GDDR6 memory, cache coherent chiplet and multimedia processor optimization built on Imagination’s BXT multi-core architecture.
