Imagination Technologies Announces New High End Mobile GPU: PowerVR GX6650

Ryan touched on this in his excellent deep dive on Imagination's PowerVR Series 6XT GPU architecture earlier today, but I wanted to specifically call out the new high-end from IMG. Pictured above is a high-level block diagram of the new PowerVR GX6650, this is IMG's answer to NVIDIA's mobile Kepler/Tegra K1. 

Below I've included a modified version of Ryan's comparison table from his architecture piece:

GPU Specification Comparison
	NVIDIA K1	Imagination PowerVR GX6650	Imagination PowerVR G6430	Imagination PowerVR G6230
FP32 ALUs	192	192	128	64
FP32 FLOPs	384	384	256	128
Pixels/Clock (ROPs)	4	12	8	4
Texels/Clock	8	12	8	4
GFLOPS @ 300MHz	115.2 GFLOPS	115.2 GFLOPS	76.8 GFLOPS	38.4 GFLOPS
Architecture	Kepler	Rogue (Series 6XT)	Rogue (Series 6)	Rogue (Series 6)

I tossed in the Series 6 PowerVR G6430 as a comparison point. The G6430 is the GPU in the iPad Air/iPad mini with Retina Display/iPhone 5s. If Apple decides to go all out with a GPU upgrade on its next-generation iPad Air (A8/A8X silicon perhaps?), the GX6650 would likely be the IP to use.
