ARM: This year mobile GPUs have almost equaled solutions in Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3

Every year, the productivity of mobile devices grows by 30-50%, – stated in his article on develop-online.net Nizar Romdan, one of the directors at ARM.

This year, it has risen almost to the same level as the performance of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. And this is despite the fact that mobile devices are much “more modest” in terms of energy consumption.

However, as Nizar noted, there are difficulties that smartphones and tablets have not yet been able to overcome. For example, the memory bandwidth, when compared with that of the Xbox 360, is still lower.    

ARM (Advanced RISC Machines) is a British company, one of the largest (if not the largest in the world) developers and licensors of mobile architectures focused on use in mobile devices. Over 95% of mobile devices run on ARM CPU solutions.
