72.5GFLOPS 240Mpixel/s 1080p 60fps multi-format video codec application processor enabled with GPGPU for fused multimedia application

72.5GFLOPS GPGPU computing, 240 Mpixel/s sustainable image signal processing and 60fps 1080p multi-format video codec (MFC) capabilities are integrated with an 1.7GHz out-of-order-execution dual-core ARMv7A architecture CPU and 12.8GB/s memory subsystem for a next-generation application processor. The GPU-based general-purpose computing capability can deliver 10× higher energy efficiency in compute-intensive multimedia applications, compared with a CPU solution on the same die. The improved energy efficiency with GPGPU computing enables next-generation fused multimedia applications, with the assistance of dedicated high-performance low-power multimedia accelerators, as well as with low-power design and process technology, as shown in Fig. 9.4.1.
