Talk:OpenGL ES

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Are there any hardware solutions for OpenGL ES yet?

Yes, check out the MBX and SGX technology created by Imagination (http://www.powervr.com). Their technology is used in the Intel 2700G graphics accelerator (in Dell Axim x50/51v PDAs), in the new Freescale i.MX31 ARM-based CPU and some others. There are also many phones currently shipping using the MBX core such as the Nokia N93 and at least 6 OMAP based phones only available in the Japanese market.

NVIDIA and ATI also have mobile 3D chipsets supporting OpenGL ES 1.x. The ATI Imageon series and NVIDIA GoForce are the brand names. There are also somewhat smaller players such as Falanx (now part of ARM) which have the Mali 55 and Bitboys (now part of ATI). There are other hardware vendors out there, but I don't have their names handy.
