POWERVR graphics technology, which has so far achieved over 35 licenses, including three partners that are working on active designs with the very latest multi-processing (MP) core variants of the SGX543MP family.


SoC Design wins and pipeline

SoC design wins are the driver for future partner chip shipments and royalty revenue growth. Strong continuing momentum saw new partner SoC design wins increase to 85 (net of obsolescence) compared with 73 as at October 2008. Of these, 35 are shipping or beginning to ship, with the balance of 49 still in design. The latter are the driver for significant further royalty revenue growth. These committed devices are continuing to diversify across Imagination’s partners and key market segments:

* 30 for Mobile Phone Multimedia devices
* Nine for Handheld Multimedia (PMP, mobile entertainment/gaming, camera, mobile TV)
* 21 for Home Consumer Entertainment (TVs, STBs (set top boxes), DVDs, digital radio & audio, connected audio, and home entertainment devices)
* 10 in Mobile Computing (MID/UMPC/Netbook/PC/Laptop)
* 11 for In-car (Navigation, Dashboard, PNDs (personal navigation devices))
* Four for other markets covering Green energy, healthcare, amusement and toys
 
Wow, they're more widespread than I thought.

I'd like to see roll-out timings for those remaining 49...
 
Perhaps Matrox or some other IHV can develop a competitive card for the PC AIB market based on IMGTEC's technology?

Who wouldn't mind a 3rd competitor in the market. IMGTEC to release their own card in the future? They certainly have the hardware capability and expertise.
