Mali Graphics Hardware

Mali Graphics IP - Visual Computing By ARM

The ARM® Mali™ family of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) scales to deliver industry-leading graphics on entry level smartphones, right through to visually stunning user experiences for the future of top-end, cutting-edge superphones, tablets and Smart TVs. This scalability is enabled by the range of Mali GPUs based on the Utgard architecture, now proven in mainstream devices, and those that are based on the Midgard architecture for the next generation of OEM products.

ARM is in the unique position to provide an optimized compute platform that uses ARM Cortex™ processors, Mali GPU and ARM CoreLink™ CCI-400 technologies. This heterogeneous approach means that a range of applications can be processed more efficiently when shared between the CPU and the GPU. This makes full use of the inherent capabilities of each system component to achieve the best possible balance of power and performance.

The Mali-T600 Series of GPUs, part of the Midgard architecture, supports the major compute APIs to perform GPU Computing for more efficient execution of parallel-intensive tasks. All ARM Mali GPUs benefit from an integrated software stack that provides long term support of industry-standard APIs and ensures code compatibility across the range of GPUs.

Mali technology is complemented by the Mali Ecosystem, a comprehensive community of graphics industry players, helping developers to achieve shorter time-to-market and supporting application development for Mali through the ARM Mali Developer Center: an online portal providing support and resources.

With many years of expertise in designing low power processor architectures, ARM delivers graphics technology that achieves unsurpassed Power, Performance and Area (PPA), along with concurrent driver delivery and world-class support.
