Vivante Corporation Signs 15th GPU Licensee

SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 8 PRNewswire-AsiaNet - Vivante Corporation today announced the company has expanded to 15 the number of licensees for its graphics processing unit (GPU) cores.

Vivante licensees, which include both established and emerging fabless semiconductor leaders, have taped out more than 20 SoC designs incorporating Vivante GPUs.

Vivante Corporation's 2D and 3D GPU IP cores are designed specifically for embedded applications, from smart phones to Internet-enabled high-definition home entertainment displays.

Vivante is a privately-held company backed by U.S. and Asian investment funds and includes Fujitsu Limited as a corporate investor via its corporate venture capital fund.

Vivante's graphics technology is differentiated by its robust conformance to Khronos Group standards OpenVG and OpenGL ES 2.0/1.1 and by its remarkably small silicon footprint which enables Vivante licensees to maximize graphics performance delivered per square millimeter of silicon area and per milliwatt of system power consumption.
