Possible 2010 iPhone graphics processor upgrade?

January 11, 2010

PowerVR, maker of the graphics processor in the iPhone, just announced an update to the same line of graphics processors.  It would be easy to speculate then, that the 2010 iPhone could possibly contain this chip upgrade.

The new chip is the PowerVR SGX545, and it adds FULL support for DirectX 10.1, OpenGL 3.2, and OpenCL 1.0.

The new chip should output about 40 million polygons per second, which, compared to the iPhone 3GS existing chip that puts out about 28 million polygons per second, is a 70% increase.
