For smartphone fans would be familiar with the Mali GPU, which is a graphics processor and had been used by devices such as the Samsung Galaxy Note and Samsung Galaxy S2, and both use the Mali 400 graphics processor. ARM as a manufacturing company of Mali graphics processors, recently introduced its latest GPU namely the Mali-450 MP.
The Mali 450 will come with one to eight cores processor, with 8 KB to 512 KB L2 cache, and supports 4x multi-sampling which claimed there was no reduction in performance virtually. In addition, this GPU supports 16x anti-aliasing and clock at 240 MHz or 480 MHz.
When compared to the previous generation, this GPU has a lot of improvement. The Mali 400 is only capable of reaching 44 million triangles per second and 1.1 gigapixels per second, clock at 400mHz, and the performance of the Mali 450, according to ARM will reach 104 million triangles per second and 3.8 gigapixels per second, clock at 480 MHz.
For users of devices that have the Mali 400 GPU, of course you can imagine the performance of this new GPU from ARM. Interestingly, the Mali-450 GPU is intended for the middle class devices, which is likely to have quite affordable prices, with satisfactory graphics performance.
Based on several sources, the first devices that use the Mali 450 GPU, will be present in 2013, so it can be estimated if in 2013 will present many high end smartphone/tablet devices with more affordable price.
