The GPU Inside 12Bn+ Devices
Imagination has spent more than thirty years optimising our GPU architecture for advanced gaming, rich 3D user interfaces and compute-centric workloads. We license the architecture as a soft GPU IP, our licensees build it into their silicon, and that silicon ships in billions of cars, phones, wearables and PCs worldwide.

WHY LEADING SoC ARCHITECTS CHOOSE IMAGINATION
Imagination GPUs go beyond graphics, offering an ideal platform for AI acceleration in power-constrained edge devices. Their high parallelism, originally engineered for complex 3D rendering, is perfectly suited for executing the massive compute workloads of modern AI models with efficiency and speed.
EFFICIENCY
Our GPU architecture is designed intelligently to deliver superior performance efficiency. Tile-based deferred rendering minimises data movement and removes redundant operations early in the pipeline.
FLEXIBILITY
When a SoC is overloaded, having the ability to offload compute-heavy tasks onto an AI-capable GPU relieves pressure. Imagination GPUs can communicate directly with other accelerators to form an efficient edge AI subsystem.
FUTURE-PROOF
AI models and the operators inside them are changing month by month – but silicon can be in the market for a decade. General-purpose accelerators, like Imagination GPUs, help a chip maintain relevance in a fast-moving market.
PROGRAMMABILITY
Software teams find it easy to get their code running on Imagination IP thanks to the familiar GPU programming model (based on industry-standard APIs like Vulkan and OpenCL) plus an extensive software ecosystem with optimised backends to popular frameworks.
FEATURE SET
SoC Architects looking to tailor their hardware to a particular market can choose from an impressive array of advanced graphics and computing technologies including powerful ray tracing, DirectX support and ASIL-B safety coverage.
CONCURRENCY
Our multi-threaded shading clusters feature an ALU architecture with high SIMD efficiency. Different jobs can be submitted to the GPU concurrently, with scheduling managed by the GPU’s firmware processor.
