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 SGX544

► remove from comparison PowerVR SGX544

The PowerVR SGX544 is a integrated graphics card for tablets and smartphones (often in ARM based SoCs). It usually clocks at 384 MHz and offers 4 dedicated pixel- and 2 vertex shader (MP1 version). The card supports DirectX 9_3 and OpenGL ES 2.0 and is used in Android based tablets and smartphones. There are also versions with more clusters. See e.g. the PowerVR SGX544MP2 with two clusters.

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).
