PowerVR SGX531 vs PowerVR SGX540 vs PowerVR SGX544MP2

PowerVR SGX531

► remove from comparison

The PowerVR SGX531 is an integrated graphics card that can be found in mostly ARM based SoCs for tablets and smartphones. It offers 2 pixel and 1 vertex shaders that are usually clocked at 200 MHz. The GPU supports OpenGL ES 2.0 and was announced in Oct. of 2006.

PowerVR SGX540

► remove from comparison PowerVR SGX540

The PowerVR SGX540 is an integrated graphics card that can be found in mostly ARM based SoCs for tablets and smartphones. It offers 4 pixel and 2 vertex shaders that are usually clocked at 200 MHz. The GPU supports OpenGL ES 2.0 and was announced in November of 2007.

PowerVR SGX544MP2

► remove from comparison PowerVR SGX544MP2

The PowerVR SGX544MP2 is a integrated graphics card for tablets and smartphones (often in ARM based SoCs). It offers 2 clusters with each 4 dedicated pixel- and 2 vertex shader. The card supports DirectX 9_3 and OpenGL ES 2.0 and is used in Android based tablets and smartphones. The clock speed differs in the used SoC. E.g. in the Clovertrail+ SoCs the GPU can be clocked at 300 MHz in the Atom Z2520, 400 MHz in the Z2560 and 533 MHz in the Atom Z2580 (source Intel slide).
