Last week I told you that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), decided to extend the partnership with an American company called Imagination Technologies, which currently supplies the graphic chips of all iDevices. Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), has been collaborating with those from Imagination for several years, and this partnership has allowed those from Cupertino to offer iDevices the most powerful graphics chips on the market year after year, and this without affecting the autonomy in any way the battery of the terminals or the experience of using the devices.
Implementing in the chip A7 a graphics processor PowerVR G6430Those from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), they offered for iPhone 5S or iPad Air graphics processing power net superior the one available in the new one Google Nexus 5 or in the terminals that use the chip Nvidia Tegra 4. Although Apple does not use Imagination's most powerful graphics chip for its terminals, iPhone 5S or iPad Air, which have already been available on the market for 5 months, remain at the top of many tests that compare the graphics processing power of smartphones and tablets.
Even if the new platform Nvidia Tegra K1 it offers more processing power than the chip A7, by the fall of this year, Apple will implement a more powerful graphics chip that will surpass it in benchmarks and allow the development of much more complex games. Practically thanks to those from Imagination, Apple can offer its users extremely good performance on the graphics side, and the decision to extend the partnership will offer us in the future faster iDevices on the graphics side, but also much more complex games/applications.
