Nope. All so far announced variants should have 16 lane SIMDs.

I doubt he can answer that question (just yet). It mostly comes down to frequency; at 300MHz IMHO at least today's high end tablet GPU performance.
By the way: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57584927-37/apple-graphics-chip-supplier-hints-at-future-ipad-q-a/
10 licensees of which 2 of them half way dead.

I found it kind of funny that Apple uses 2 of the 3 Series5XT variants and he manages to pick the one that Apple doesn't use.
One digit up, one digit down who cares...details
The fact that the "current" iPad has a GPU with at least twice the execution units as he claims is even less important This analyst note on mediatek confirms that their big-litte chip due to ship Q32013 will contains rogue graphics (incorrectly referred to as SGX6XX).

I suspect it might be the G6100.
Quite an achievement for mediatek, to come from absolutely no socs shipping in the smartphone/tablet sector, to being likely the 2nd volume tablet soc to ship with Rogue (assuming apple gets there first).
I suppose it says as much about the various also-ran rogue licencees (TI,ST,Renesas) as it does about mediatek

"MediaTek expects to have the multi-core (MT8135) big.LITTLE
ARM Coretex A7+A15 standalone apps processor for tablets in 3Q13, with improved GPU power by Imagination’s Series-6 core and 28nm HKMG on TSMC’s 28nm HPM process."

Smells more like G6200 is you ask me.
If memory serves well their latest SoCs with 5XT GPU IP contains a single 544@320MHz; at a similar frequency a 6200 would be at least 3x times above, let alone that 28nm allows with ease higher frequencies.
Imagination signs license agreement with Toshiba for range of Imagination’s technologies

Is Toshiba developing its own SoCs?
That was my point and yes it was an honest question. Is Toshiba possibly entering the market of SoC manufacturers and if yes for what exactly? Embedded stuff possibly?
***edit: most likely smartTVs and the likes.
when you say next atom, do you mean next atom targeted for tablet ?
The next atom targeted for smartphone, Merrifield is almost certainly going to still be PowerVr, as done for the last 3 generations, CT+, Medfield, Moorestown (RIP).
Results today also confirmed series 6XT is announcing later this year. Some key points are it focuses on further power improvements and improvements related to GPGPU. Sounds more that just glueing existing announced "cores" together.
IMG also confirmed that Samsung supports opencl in the exynos5 equipped galaxy S4. Don't know it is exposed or whether the inference was it was being used by the os for some video/camera computation.

Just a whitepaper for Series6 finally; nothing much to see just a verification that:
G6100 = DX9L3
G6200/6400/6230/6430/6630 = DX10.0
....still no clear indication what the 6x30 variants stand for.

Rogue/Series6 is supposed to range from DX10 to DX11.1 (ok now with the low end G6100 it's actually DX9L3 to DX11.1). Let's see if the soon to be announced Series6XT brings >DX10.0 to the table; would make sense since for any windows platform you'd also need a specific level of performance.
