AMD planning to bring Xbox 360-quality graphics on handhelds
TGDaily reports that AMD currently has plans to bring “Xbox quality graphics to handheld devices.” AMD plans to do this by utilizing their next gen mobile graphics technologies.
While specific details have yet to be released, AMD is reportedly “working with content developers now in preparation for the arrival of phones.” These should be made available to handset manufacturers through “discrete media processors as well as through IP licensing agreements with semiconductor suppliers.”
A developers toolkit that includes OpenVG 1.0 and OpenGL ES 2.0 support has already been released. The toolkit will also incorporate the same Unified Shader Architecture found in the Xbox 360. There’s still no word yet on which companies have already signed up, but keep checking back here on QJ for more updates.
