\nFast 3D core accessed using the supplied OpenGL ES2.0 and OpenVG libraries.\n<\/p>\n

\nOpen GL ES 2.0, hardware-accelerated OpenVG, and 1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode.\n<\/p>\n

\nCapable of 1Gpixel\/s, 1.5Gtexel\/s or 24 GFLOPs of general purpose compute and features a bunch of texture filtering and DMA infrastructure.\n<\/div>\n
\n \n<\/div>\n
\nSo, graphics capabilities are roughly equivalent to Xbox 1 level of performance.\n<\/div>\n
