Latest APIs at lowest cost

Developers and OEMs want to standardize on modern APIs

OEMs cut costs by having a single software environment over all devices

Developers can maximize ROI over larger installed base

Current low end/high end split prevents this

Series8XE supports the latest APIs

OpenGL ES 3.2: compatibility, modern toolchains

Vulkan: to-the-metal responsiveness, low CPU load

Delivers the best user experience

Focus on what really matters – fillrate matters

more than gigaflops in these markets

Bringing users what matters most – browsers, apps, casual games


PowerVR Series8XE efficiency improvements

Improved efficiency

plus extra features

Up to 25% smaller vs. Series7XE

for same fillrate

Same user experience, lower cost

60% to 100% better performance

per mm2 over a range of industry

benchmarks vs. competition

30 – 45% area reduction vs.

competitors’ cores for same fillrate

Secure GPU with full support for

modern APIs

Area vs. fillrate (user experience) for Series8XE and Series7XE


PowerVR Series8XE GPUs Initial GPUs available now

GE8200 2 pixels per clock

GE8300 4 pixels per clock

Entry Level Phones, Tablets,

Mainstream 1080p HDTVs/STBs,

Entry Level Automotive Infotainment/Cluster,

High-end Wearables (reduced target clock)

Low-end Phones, Tablets,

Mainstream 4K UHDTVs/STBs,

Mid-Range Automotive Infotainment/Cluster

Multi-domain security for all markets
