Hi,

I recently stumbled upon an article about POWERVR SGX, and i thought this would be the best place to clear my doughts.

This is the article
http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33318

now what do they mean that they can add more cores to increase parallelism?

I also have another question.
In IDF, Intel talked about its TErascale plans and said that they can build special technologies into cores to perform specific functions and of course this is gfx related. My question is will Intel do it in the form of having 5 cores for texture, 2 cores as ROPS etc, or will they make all cores for grahics processing?

thanx a lot

Hi,

It means that a more powerful version of a chip can be created by laying out in more instances of the programmable units.
