POWERVR SGX Performance Comparison<br />
The POWERVR Tile Based Deferred Rendering Advantage<br />
Higher BW due to<br />
external memory accesses<br />
Higher BW due to<br />
lossy pointer compression<br />
Higher BW due to lack of<br />
patent protected TBDR features<br />
• WVGA, 32 Bits Frame Buffer, 32 Bits Depth/Stencil, 16 Bits Textures, 5 tessellated polygon layers with uniform triangle distribution, layers culled, 2 layers passing EarlyZ due to submission<br />
order, 1 layer passing on POWERVR, all layers dual textured, 32x16 Tiles. Simplified model using Molnar-Eyles formula illustrating the impact of patent protected architectural advantages<br />
