Eph

[Lazy8s]

ARM's site has a video of a Mali graphics demo called Eph showing off high image quality with multi-texture and particle effects.

In a distinctly "demo scene" presentation, abstract, organically shaped metallic objects show off particle glow and reflections with trilinear texture filtering, multisampled at 16xAA.

The Mali55 pixel processing core, claimed to be the lowest cost OpenGL ES 1.1 hardware with a size just over 1-mm^2 in 90nm fabrication, performs 4x rotated grid multisampling in a single cycle and supports up to 16xAA with an 8x8 grid. It's been licensed to Zoran, a semiconductor designer of multimedia and application processors, for the phone market.

Mali200, ARM's OpenGL ES 2 set of cores, uses a 16-queen grid for its 16xAA. It's been licensed to semiconductor designer Micronas for the set-top box and interactive TV markets.

Looks nice! I think some of the Falanx guys have a demo scene background so that'd kinda explain it

Wouldn't that make it 64x.
Peace.

Wouldn't that make it 64x.
Peace.

Not if they are using an N-Queens pattern... but I would have thought that would only allow 8 samples to be placed.

It's 4x rotated grid multisampling combined with 2x2 ordered grid supersampling. Which gives you 16 samples, distributed on an 8x8 grid.
