Mali-VE3 Video Engine

The highly flexible and scalable ARM Mali™-VE video engine architecture offers the optimum combination of high performance, efficient die size, programmability and low power consumption, making it ideal for mobile solutions and converged consumer applications. The video engine has a DRAM-friendly and burst-efficient memory access pattern, low memory-bandwidth requirements and very high tolerance for interconnect latency and interconnect arbitration gaps. The Mali-VE video engine technology is also highly autonomous, placing a minimal load (<1%) on the system CPU.

The Mali-VE3 Video Engine is ideally suited for use as a video processor in devices such as mobile phones, portable entertainment devices and camcorders, as well as digital televisions.
