CES 2012

[Lazy8s]

The most recent Consumer Electronics Show had some nice demonstrations.

IMG showed a comparison between GPGPU and CPU at basic image editing, a geometry stresser for TBDR, and an advanced lighting demo on an iPad 2.

Damn..my english is not good enough.

What GPU did Kristof Beets use to show the geometry performance of a TBDR? 15 Mio polygons per sec. are not so bad, by the way

It was an SGX540 core, but the implementation/SoC wasn't disclosed.

I was hoping they would move on to the 3rd demo station with the raytracing goods.

The geometry performance seems low even for single core? Must be clocked low? The quad core in the 543MP4 does over 100 million polys/sec.

 

[Lazy8s]

Newer cores can always scale up the amount of geometry handled; absolute performance isn't the issue here.

The point demonstrated is that their TBDR isn't at any inherent disadvantage in scenes with high geometry to a comparable IMR, which in this case would be a Tegra 2 or Adreno or Mali of that time.

It was OMAP4430 for the Cubes (poly throughput) demo.
