Mobile Computing

The proliferation of terms for these devices makes the segment seem very complex: mobile internet devices (MID), ultra-mobile PCs (UMPCs), netbooks, net-tops, tablets and laptops to list a few. Yet fundamentally the market is all about the delivery of desktop-level capabilities and performance in ultra-low power, highly mobile form factors.

Mobile computing devices focus their computing power on providing full internet access anywhere. POWERVR graphics and video enable this, whether powering the latest browsers, playing games, navigating to meet friends or accessing the latest videos on the move.

POWERVR SGX graphics and VXD video, which deliver high performance and ultra-low power consumption, are leading technologies enabling this market. Indeed, both technologies are used in many of the most innovative ground-breaking devices. Many of our licensees are also now moving into this market, with some of the latest SoC applications processors incorporating our SGX graphics now being recognised as attractive solutions for this rapidly growing market segment.
