Apple GPU's biggest revolution in 7 years: 80% improvement, outperforming Android

Apple GPU's biggest revolution in 7 years: 80% improvement, outperforming Android
In March this year, Imagination announced the first new GPU architecture "Furian" since 2010. Now the first product based on this architecture is announced, the GT8525 of the PowerVR 8XT series . If nothing unexpected happens, Apple's A11 chip this year will be customized based on this (MediaTek is also expected to use it). Of course, the GPU information of A10 has not been really confirmed by the outside world yet, and Apple and Imagination are still unhappy recently. The former claims to eliminate PowerVR within 2 years and completely realize self-research. In terms of specifications, GT8525 still uses a dual-cluster design, and the texture and pixel units are doubled compared to GT7200 Plus. The GFXBench Manhattan score is increased by 50%, the Tyrannosaurus Rex score is increased by 80%, and the floating-point performance is increased by 50%. Of course, the Furian architecture itself is also a comprehensive upgrade of Rogue. For example, on each individual pipeline, the original MAD ALU (128 in total in T7200 Plus) is now upgraded to 128 MAD+64 MUL, which is a total of 192. The former can do addition and multiplication, while the latter only does multiplication. Imagination said that GT8525 has been shipped to key partners , which is basically certain to be Apple, which accounts for as much as 50% of its revenue.
