Sony покупает права на использование графических процессоров PowerVR SGX Series5XT от Imagination Technologies

Компания Imagination Technologies недавно выпустила пресс-релиз, где было отмечено, что Sony будет использовать системы-на-кристалле этой компании в своих будущих продуктах.

Однако до сих пор не известно, какие продукты будут использовать данную технологию. Впрочем было бы логично предположить что это будет PlayStation Vita.

Пресс-релиз:

Imagination Technologies Group plc (LSE: IMG; “Imagination”), a leader in System-on-Chip Intellectual Property (“SoC IP”), has signed a further license agreement with Sony Corporation, (“Sony”), a leading consumer electronics company, for IP cores from Imagination’s PowerVR SGX Series5XT graphics family.

Sony will deploy Imagination’s technologies in SoCs targeting consumer markets.

Under the terms of the licence agreement Imagination receives licence fees and royalty revenues based on shipments of semiconductor products incorporating Imagination’s IP.
