Intel Is Planning To Drop PowerVR Graphics

[dnebdal]

PowerVR was good! Back in 1995, that is :-P

Hey, my Kyro II was very good value for the money back in 2001.

On Windows, yes. But on Linux you'll have to do it with vesa and the kernel's kyrofb.

Intel has just announced a dual core medfield, and with it confirmed that they are incorporating a new PowerVr graphics core (new to Intel that is), SGX544MP2@533Mhz. Shipping in end user devices mid next year. So no move from PowerVr in the mid-term

Should provide more than double the graphics performance of the current ipad2, and is Dx9 compliant, allowing it to be targetted towards win8 devices.
