Imagination Technologies (Hertsfordshire, UK) reports that its POWERVR SGX520 graphics processor core has achieved conformance with the Khronos OpenGL ES 2.0 standard. POWERVR SGX520, which the company describes as the world's smallest 3D graphics processor solution to achieve OpenGL ES 2.0 conformance, is less than 2.6mm2 in TSMC 65LP process.

The Khronos family of multimedia APIs (application programming interfaces) enable multimedia software applications to be written in a sophisticated, well-defined, and structured manner.

Imagination delivers fully conformant IP cores that deliver high performance, fully hardware accelerated implementations of popular Khronos graphics APIs, says the release.

POWERVR SGX supports OpenGL 2.0, OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenGL ES 1.1 and OpenVG 1.0, while the previous generation POWERVR MBX 3D acceleration core, already deployed in more than 100m phones and other devices, supports OpenGL ES 1.1 and OpenVG 1.0.1.

POWERVR SGX is already shipping in SoCs from Intel, NEC, Renesas, and Texas Instruments. Further devices from these, and other key semiconductor and consumer electronics companies, are already in development. The first phones capable of delivering OpenGL ES 2.0 support, enabled by POWERVR SGX, are on sale in Japan now.
