N900 Graphics

[Lazy8s]

Bounce Evolution shows off the OpenGL ES 2.0 capabilities of the SGX530 inside Nokia's N900.

A 530 wields one TMU, and Nokia's new MID/phone details these graphics at 800x480.

WOAH...

I like what i see. This N900 should be a pretty powerful device when it comes to graphics huh?

 

[Simon F]

Ooh. That's quite pretty.

Gorgeous! (C'ept for some weird tree clipping / render priority issues at around 1:10.) How I wish Intel (or anyone) would write a nice driver for the GMA500 in Poulsboro / Pineview. There's atleast hope for Pineview...

 

[roninja]

Assuming Pineview is sgx whereas Moorestown most certainly is.

Assuming Pineview is sgx......

Which on evidence thus far would appear to be a bad assumption.

Oh, didn't know; I guess I meant Moorestown. Is Pineview's GPU atleast licensed from PowerVR?

If it would be, it would almost certainly be SGX.
But this is not the case, all evidence says it is gen-3 (so derived from i915).
