Core Logic licensed ARM Mali-400 MP GPU targeting high-end portable devices

Core Logic has licensed the ARM Mali-400 MP multicore graphics-processing unit (GPU). ARM Mali-400 MP GPU provides graphic processing power to SoCs inside graphic-rich portable devices.

"We are seeing massive demand for ever higher specification graphics on all multimedia mobile devices, PMPs and PNDs," said Kwang Pyuk Suh, CEO of Core Logic. "Device manufacturers are continually looking for technologies that enable them to develop the next high-end, must-have gadget to set them apart from the competition. Additionally, users are becoming increasingly discerning about getting the best out of their chosen applications at home and on the go. By extending our relationship with ARM, a reliable and proven supplier, and incorporating the Mali-400 MP GPU in our solutions, we are enabling our customers to meet this demand and deliver an equally compelling user experience on mobile as on digital entertainment devices."

"The Mali-400 MP GPU enables Core Logic to develop the highest quality multimedia system-on-a-chip technology that will lie at the heart of next generation digital entertainment and communication devices," said Lance Howarth, general manager, ARM Media Processing Division. "Mali-400 MP and other Mali GPUs are fully compatible with the ARM CPUs that power billions of digital devices around the world. This, combined with the complete Mali graphics stack and the ARM Mali Ecosystem, brings lowered development costs and reduced time to market."
