Mali-T628

Mali-T628 Image (View Larger Mali-T628 Image)
The ARM Mali-T628 GPU offers scalability from one to eight cores – providing up to twice the graphics and GPU Compute performance compared to the Mali-T624 GPU. The Mali-T628 shares key API support with the other products in the Mali-T600 Series – including OpenGL ES 1.1, OpenGL ES 2.0 and OpenGL ES 3.0*, DirectX 9, DirectX 11, OpenCL 1.1 Full Profile and Google Renderscript. Mali-T628 is the GPU of choice for use in the next generation of market-leading devices, optimized to bring breathtaking graphical displays to consumer applications such as 3D graphics, visual computing, augmented reality, procedural texture generation and voice recognition.
 


Why Mali-T628?

The Mali-T628 delivers high  performance graphics, achieved by doubling the number of GPU cores, within each core and improving the compiler and pipeline efficiency.

The ARM Mali-T628 GPU supports multiple Compute APIs, including Khronos® OpenCL Full Profile,Google Renderscript, and Microsoft DirectCompute. It provides native hardware support for 64-bit scalar and vector, integer and floating-point data types - fundamental to accelerate complex and computationally intensive algorithms.

The Job Manager within Mali-T600 Series GPUs offloads task management from the CPU to the GPU and enables seamless load balancing across active shader cores. Concurrent delivery of a common set of compatible drivers for all Midgard architecture-based Mali GPUs enables faster time-to-market and minimizes software upgrade costs for future implementations.

*Mali GPUs noted as based on a published Khronos Specification are conformant, or expected to pass the Khronos Conformance Testing Process. Current conformance status is available at khronos.org.


Performance

The Mali-T628 delivers up to 10x the graphics performance of the Mali-400-MP GPU, as well as an increase in GPU Compute performance when compared with the Mali-T604 GPU.
